What’s Changing in Serbia’s Administrative Fees
From July 1, 2026, the Republic of Serbia applied new harmonized dinar amounts to its administrative fees, as prescribed by the revised Law on Republic Administrative Fees. (purs.gov.rs) These changes affect a range of procedures such as issuing tax certificates, confirming residency for double taxation agreements, appeals, copies of documents, and more.
Key Examples of Fee Changes
- Tax certificate: request + certificate now costs 860 dinars (430 request + 430 certificate). Previously, components were priced differently. (purs.gov.rs)
- Deferral of tax payment: total fee is now 1,170 dinars (430 request fee + 740 decision fee). (purs.gov.rs)
- Residency confirmation for double taxation: 2,340 dinars for natural persons, 6,410 dinars for legal entities. (purs.gov.rs)
- Copies or certs of documents: e.g. copies per half-page now 550 dinars. (purs.gov.rs)
These revisions affect both individuals and businesses making formal requests from tax and administrative authorities.
Why It Matters
| For Whom | Impact |
|---|---|
| Individuals handling residency, certificates | Higher outlays for certifications and requests. Budget accordingly for sudden costs. |
| Businesses, especially foreign legal entities | Adjust your finance department to include updated fee schedule. But the changes bring clarity and harmonization. |
| Tax professionals / accountants | Need up-to-date knowledge of tariff categories. Advising clients requires catching these exact amounts. |

- Update internal guides: If you issue documents or applications for clients, adjust your fee tables and invoices.
- Check new thresholds: Some fee changes reference tariff numbers (e.g., Tariff No. 4 or No. 7) — ensure you know which category applies.
- Budget accordingly: If you have multiple outstanding admin actions (certificates, appeals, document requests), aggregate the new fees into your cash-flow forecasts.
