Rejestracja jachtu w Czarnogórze: korzyści i zwolnienia podatkowe

Montenegro has established itself as the premier superyacht hub in the Mediterranean. Centered around world-class marinas like Porto Montenegro and Portonovi, the country combines luxury infrastructure with a highly competitive maritime legal framework. This guide details the benefits and process of registering a yacht in Montenegro.

Key Benefits of Yacht Registration

Registering your private or commercial yacht under the Montenegrin flag offers several advantages:

• Duty-Free Fuel: Yachts registered in Montenegro or foreign-flagged vessels with a valid charter license can purchase tax and duty-free fuel, offering up to 60% savings compared to EU retail prices.
• No Import VAT: Yachts imported into Montenegro under temporary admission or registered locally can be exempt from import VAT.
• Favorable Corporate Tax: Charter companies operating from Montenegro pay standard progressive corporate tax starting at only 9%.
• Flexible Charter Laws: Foreign-flagged yachts can easily obtain a local charter license, allowing them to start and end charters in Montenegrin waters.

The Yacht Registry Process

The Montenegrin Yacht Registry (Registar Jahti) is managed by the Maritime Safety Department (Uprava Pomorske Sigurnosti):

1. Application Submission: Submit proof of ownership (bill of sale), builder’s certificate, deletion certificate from the previous registry, and insurance policy.
2. Technical Inspection: A local marine surveyor must conduct a technical inspection to verify compliance with safety standards.
3. Registry Issuance: Registration certificates are issued for a period of 3 years, providing long-term operational peace of mind.
