In four municipalities and a number of local companies, there is a noticeable delay in payment of current liabilities. Seven million euros are owed by the municipalities and four million by the local businesses. During the past and this year, there was an intensified communication with the local self-government and the local community. The enforcement of enforced collection measures has also begun by blocking the bank accounts, in order to remind them once more that the delays in servicing the tax obligations will not be tolerated, the Tax Administration said to “Pobjeda”.
The bill collection will, as announced, be undertaken in continuity.
There will also be proposed bankruptcy measures if it is not possible to collect the debt from the local companies, regardless of what is vital to the functioning of the municipalities, which has been warned by this authority within the Ministry of Finance.
The Tax Administration did not say which municipalities were late but stated that they were disciplined and in time compensated for current but reprogrammed liabilities.
"The municipalities with the highest degree of tax discipline are Podgorica, Tivat, Herceg Novi, Kotor, Plužine, Gusinje and Petnjica, who did not enter the reprogram 2015 as well as Niksic, Budva and Bar, which approved the repayment of the tax debt by the Ministry of Finance three years ago, but regularly servicing all due reprogrammed and current liabilities," the Tax Administration said.
