Serbia tax profile

Data year: 2026

Tax system
Worldwide Worldwide taxation for residents. Employment income is taxed at a flat 10% on gross salary above the monthly non-taxable amount (RSD 34,221 in 2026). Self-employment and other schedular income types use separate flat rates (mostly 10–20%). High earners may owe supplementary annual PIT on net worldwide income above three times the national average annual wage (10% on the band up to six times the average, 15% above that).
