The introduction of the electronic fiscalization system in Montenegro provides a number of positive effects, including an increase in public revenues, the suppression of the gray economy, the transparency of the tax system, and inspection supervision. The study, prepared by an external consultant, showed that the introduction of this system and the provision of data in real time will contribute to better monitoring of the work of taxpayers, which will result in more effective detection and sanctioning of the gray economy and therefore an increase in tax revenues, especially based on value-added tax.
