Although there is no universally accepted definition of freelancers in legal regulations, this group includes all natural persons, both domestic residents of the Republic of Serbia (“RS“) for income in RS and abroad, as well as foreign non-residents for income earned in RS, who generate income by providing services to other domestic or foreign individuals, entrepreneurs, or legal entities that do not calculate and pay taxes and contributions in the RS (“Freelancers“).
From July 1 of this year, Freelancers will be able to familiarize themselves with numerous questions related to their status on the portal https://frilenseri.purs.gov.rs/. This includes regulating issues such as earned income, methods of paying taxes and contributions, information about their rights and obligations, as well as various other aspects related to their position.
The portal will function in such a way that all interested persons will be able to settle their tax obligations and receive more favourable tax treatment.
Regarding this portal, numerous plans have been announced, with the main ones being the integration of the portal with the website of the Central Registry of Compulsory Social Security, and the development of an English version of the portal, considering the fact that non-residents can also be Freelancers.
The portal contains a large number of questionnaires, such as an income assessment test and a self-assessment test, as well as verification procedures in which Freelancers themselves can determine whether they meet the conditions to be treated as Freelancers and assess their specific income. It also includes a calculator for tax obligations, based on which Freelancers will choose one of two options for taxation, as well as instructions on how their taxes will be calculated and paid.
For more information on taxes and contributions that Freelancers are required to pay for their work, please read the article published on our office’s website, which can be found at the following link: https://milosevic-law.com/amendment-of-tax-laws-and-freelancer-status/
