When tax problems escalate

Serbian Tax Administration has broad enforcement powers — acting fast makes all the difference.

Unexpected tax audit

The Tax Administration can initiate audits without warning, reviewing up to 5 years of records. Without proper representation, businesses often accept unfavorable findings.

Back taxes + 15% penalty interest

Penalty notices

Tax penalty notices can be disproportionate to the actual violation. Many penalties are procedurally flawed and can be successfully appealed — but deadlines are strict.

15-day appeal deadline

Frozen bank accounts

The Tax Administration can freeze your business bank account for unpaid tax debts through forced collection orders, paralyzing your operations overnight.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long do tax disputes take in Serbia?

+

Administrative appeals typically take 60-90 days for the Tax Administration to decide. If escalated to the Administrative Court, proceedings can take 12-18 months. Complex cases involving multiple tax periods may take longer.

What is the success rate in tax dispute appeals?

+

Success depends on the specifics of each case. Procedural errors by the Tax Administration are common and often lead to successful appeals. Cases with strong documentation and clear legal arguments have significantly higher success rates.

What documents do I need for a tax dispute?

You will need the original tax assessment notice, all correspondence with the Tax Administration, relevant accounting records, invoices, contracts, bank statements, and any prior audit reports. We help you organize and prepare all documentation.

Can you help prevent tax audits?

+

While audits cannot be entirely prevented, proper compliance significantly reduces risk. We offer preventive compliance reviews that identify and fix issues before the Tax Administration finds them, making any future audit smoother.

How much does tax dispute representation cost?

+

Costs depend on the complexity of the dispute and amounts involved. Simple penalty appeals start from 300 EUR. Court proceedings are priced based on scope. The first consultation is free — we assess your case and provide a detailed quote before any commitment.

Can the Tax Administration freeze my bank account?

+

Yes. The Serbian Tax Administration can issue a forced collection order that freezes your bank account for unpaid tax debts. We can challenge these orders and negotiate payment plans to unfreeze accounts quickly.
