Tax and compliance

Resident treatment: Montenegro Tax Administration guidance treats an individual as resident when present in Montenegro for more than 183 days in a 12-month period or when center of vital interests is in Montenegro; residents are taxed on worldwide income. Non-resident treatment: non-residents are taxed on Montenegro-source income, including employment performed in Montenegro. Foreign income exemption: no general exemption identified in the ordinary resident regime. Assumptions: effective_income_tax_rate_pct uses the top PIT rate (15%) from the official PIT-rate page; employee social contribution proxy uses the published pension/disability contribution from salary (15%), with other payroll obligations potentially applying depending on case. Confidence: medium (official guidance is clear on residency/PIT/VAT, but payroll-contribution composition can vary by employment setup).

Method: LivingCost country-level USD averages retrieved 2026-02-27. Average baseline is the source's 'Total with rent' (one person). Poor baseline is computed as without-rent basket + cheap 1BR + utility bill (1 person) + internet; comfortable baseline is computed as without-rent basket + city-center 1BR + utility bill (1 person) + internet. Baselines: poor $1041.49, average $1068.2, comfortable $1175.04. monthly_coworking_usd is null because this source does not publish an auditable country-level coworking monthly pass metric. Source date context: LivingCost page content current as of retrieval date. Confidence: medium (aggregated/crowdsourced country averages, significant intra-country city variance).
