And Serbia is becoming a tax haven for the rich

The average rate of income tax in EU countries is almost twice higher than in Serbia, a lower percentage of Serbia have only Bulgaria, Romania, Czechia and Slovakia, said the Belgrade newspaper Blic quoted by BTA .

In the tax base of one million euros Serbian citizen must give the state some 146 000 or less doubled from the citizen of Cyprus, the newspaper Blic. For the same amount Slovenian, Irish, and Britain will pay tax garkat about 400 000 and datchaninat – more than half a million.
Sasa Radulovic, an independent investment consultant, who has lived and worked in Germany, Canada and the United States argues that the progressive tax is an achievement of civilization, comparable to human rights or the abolition of the death penalty. He stated that in advanced countries wealth of individuals is desirable, but unlike the situation in Serbia, those who derive more than the total resources and earn more and pay higher taxes. „Nowhere I pay less taxes than in Serbia. Compared with Germany, Canada and the United States Serbia for me is a tax paradise,“ said Radulovic.
In Serbia, the more you earn, the more you reduce the tax and property tax is negligible. In any thriving society is not so hard Radulovic. He stated that in developed countries there is a limit below which income is not taxed, while Serbia and the people paying taxes, receiving 150 euros. According to data from the tax administration in 2007 in Serbia was 18 727 millionaires, and last year 16 500 (citizens with annual income over 1.64 million dinars, or about 17 600 euros).
The taxes of millionaires is filled only one-tenth of the Serbian budget. According to tax returns richest Serb in 2007 earned about 3.3 million euros and paid them around 500 000 euro tax, three times less than it would have paid in Austria. It is therefore not surprising that some called Serbia „baelkanskoto Monte Carlo, the newspaper Blic.
