Conclusions of 5th International Congress of Tax Advisors – No need for a new Law on the Origin of Property

The International Congress of the Association of Tax Advisors of Serbia, held on Zlatibor, gathered experts in this field from the whole region. In addition to the current local tax topics, the tax systems of Slovenia, Croatia, B&H, Montenegro and North Macedonia were presented at the congress.

The participants reached two conclusions: there is no need to pass a new Law on the Origin of Property, as all the procedures for detecting unregistered property are covered by the Law on Tax Procedure and Tax Administration, and they proposed that legal deadlines be honored in resolving requests for VAT recovery.

During the congress, at the initiative of Ivan Simic, the president of the Association of Tax Advisors of Serbia, the Association of Tax Advisors of Southeast Europe was founded. The goal of this association is that tax advisors from the region connect so as to share information more easily, which should result in an improvement of regional regulations and practice.

Other topics discussed at the congress were the criminal act of tax evasion in the context of the activities of the Tax Administration, the Prosecutor's Office and courts, the costs of the stay of workers on international work assignments, the determining of the origin of property, lump sum taxation, temporary and permanent employment contracts, as well as dilemmas concerning the reimbursement of employees' transportation costs.
