The value-added tax in Montenegro is prescribed by the Law on Value-Added Tax. Two positive tax rates of value-added tax are applied, namely the standard rate of 21% and the reduced rate of 7%, as well as the zero rate (0%). But we can say that this area is more regulated than the others because, in a more detailed way, it defines the main requirements and fields that are covered by the VAT.
