Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Fiscal Reform Proposal: New Tax Obligations for Individuals and Businesses

  • A new proposal on fiscalization of transactions is set to reach the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in September.
  • The draft law requires companies, craftsmen, and individuals with annual income above 5000 KM to issue fiscal receipts.
  • The measure aims to improve control over income and spending and ensure fairer tax processes.
  • Retailers and small traders are concerned about reduced competitiveness and lack of relief for legal operators.
  • Authorities believe fiscal reform should stimulate the economy and ease conditions for workers.
  • The law mandates real-time reporting of fiscal receipts for transparency and reduced tax evasion.
  • It aligns with EU Directive 2014/55/EC, moving closer to European standards in electronic invoicing and public procurement.
  • Stricter penalties are introduced to discourage avoidance of fiscal obligations.
  • Fiscalization will cover digital business models like online stores and marketplaces.
  • The debate in September is the beginning of a process expected to continue through 2025.
