Within the project Tax Caravan, the central event intended for employers from the capital city took place today.
In its introductory speech, a director of Tax Administration, Mr Miomir M. Mugosa, expressed his content by the results achieved in the course of the Tax Caravan project, having in mind that in the previous 6 events few hundreds of tax payers had the chance to have direct communication with Tax Administration officers and get answers to questions related to problems they face in complying with taxation requirements. He emphasized that the Tax Caravan project was only one in the series of activities organized with an aim to encourage voluntary compliance with taxation laws, to strengthen equal, transparent and proactive approach by Tax Administration and to build the relationship of understanding and trust between Tax Administration and tax payers. His words of gratitude went to Montenegrin Employers Federation which was said to have contributed to the project’s success and announced the continuation of cooperation between these two institutions on creation of favourable business environment in Montenegro.
Ms Suzana Radulovic, a Secretary General at MEF, pointed out that the work of joint Coordination body and years-long good partnership between Tax Administration and MEF were one of the best examples of public – private cooperation. Owing to today’s and previous events within the campaign, employers and tax administration had a very constructive dialogue related to correct implementation of taxation regulation, that will ultimately enable our companies to better prepare for operating in the coming tourist season.
Through presentations and practical instructions on how to use Tax Administration electronic services, Tax Administration officers, along with active participation of employers, presented important legislative provisions related to the sectors of hospitality and construction as well as to the employment of foreign workers which was considered especially relevant by MEF members, and discuss the practices important for tax payers’ proper compliance with taxation laws.
The meeting that took place in the capital city was a final event within the 1st phase of the project Tax Caravan and was preceded by the meetings in Budva, Bar, Ulcinj, Kotor, Tivat and Herceg Novi.
Tax Caravan was realized as part of the proactive approach undertaken by Tax Administration through strengthening capacities for the delivery of services to tax payers and two-way communication all with an aim to encourage voluntary compliance with tax laws and to enhance the tax discipline in the long run.
