Montenegro’s parliament has updated the Value Added Tax Law, introducing VAT on construction land sales and clarifying rules for foreign service providers and the place of supply of services.

Montenegro’s parliament has approved amendments to the Value Added Tax Law, published in Official Gazette No. 12/2026 on 6 February 2026.

From 1 April 2026, sales of construction land with a building permit will be subject to VAT.

Foreign service providers must, from 6 February 2026, either establish a permanent presence in Montenegro or appoint a tax representative when supplying services to non-taxpayers.

The changes also clarify how the place of supply of services is determined, without altering the existing rules.
