Highlight

Montenegro introduced online fiscalization system in 2019. Fiscal regulation requires fiscalization subjects to be registered businesses that issue receipts using POS systems capable of digital certificate–based signing and internet communication, with each receipt transmitted in real time to the government server for authorization and assignment of a JIKR. The currency in Montenegro is the euro.

There is no requirement for POS application certification or fiscal device certification; however, mandatory electronic communication with the Tax Authority is required.

Type of fiscalization: Online

Montenegro applies an online fiscalization model, requiring real-time electronic communication between POS systems (ENU) and the Tax Administration, with mandatory registration of taxpayers, stores, operators, and POS devices, but without predefined or certified hardware requirements. Fiscalization applies broadly to retail activities across all business spaces and sales channels, with clearly defined exclusions, mandatory receipt issuance at the moment of supply or payment, and VAT becoming due upon receipt issuance; both cash and non-cash payments are covered. Each receipt must be digitally signed and sent in real time for authorization, after which the Tax Administration assigns a unique receipt identifier (JIKR) as proof of authorization, while errors or validation failures do not stop sales but must be corrected through predefined procedures.
