Kosovo Business Advantages & Tax Policies

The Republic of Kosovo is located in south-eastern Europe and has a population of only 1.9 million people, with more than 90% of the population being Albanian and speaking predominantly Albanian. Kosovo is also consistently ranked as one of the easiest countries to start a business. Kosovo’s lenient tax policy features lower VAT, personal income, and corporate tax rates compared to neighboring countries, along with various tax breaks and exemptions for businesses.

Kosovo’s corporate tax is 10%, with a maximum VAT of 18%. Although Kosovo is not an EU member, it uses the Euro, simplifying business and trade with EU countries. The average salary of around 435 euros lowers labour costs for foreign companies and contributes to a youthful population.

The Kosovo government is improving the business environment by simplifying registration and reducing start-up and operating costs. Its strategic location in south-east Europe facilitates trade with the EU and regional countries, offering businesses access to a larger market and more opportunities. Kosovo also has several flights and high-speed corridors connecting it to other European countries.
