In fact, a high level of the VAT burden in the budget has been collected precisely by businesses, which have taxed citizens through high tax rates and with slightly reduced rates for basic products and some raw materials for the productive economy.<\/p>\n<p>Burden from <em>Direct Taxes<\/em> in 2023, which includes capital tax and tax<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> on labor income constitute 16% of the tax burden in BP6. We see the burden of direct taxes distributed and with visible changes in BP6 countries. The highest level of direct tax burden<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a> in 2023 is held by Albania, where citizens pay taxes equal to 20.5% of GDP. The main weight in direct taxes is the profit tax (as much as 10.9% of GDP).<\/p>\n<p>The citizens and businesses of Serbia follow, paying direct taxes of 18.6% of GDP. The main weight in direct taxes is carried by personal income tax (as much as 11.3% of GDP).<\/p>\n<p>In third place are the citizens and businesses of Kosovo who pay direct taxes amounting to 18.3% of their GDP. The main weight in direct taxes is carried by personal income tax (as much as 10.5% of GDP).<\/p>\n<p>At slightly lower levels, the citizens and businesses of North Macedonia also pay, with a direct tax burden of 17.9% of their GDP. The main weight in direct taxes is carried by personal income tax (as much as 10.9% of GDP).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the other two countries (Montenegro and BiH) are far from this level of tax burden as above and carry a direct tax burden of 14.1% of the Montenegrin GDP and 10% of the GDP of the BiH.<\/p>\n<p>The main weight in the direct tax burden in Montenegro is borne by personal income tax (8.8% of GDP). While the main weight in the burden of direct taxes in BiH is held equally by both types of taxes (5% to 5% of GDP).<\/p>\n<p>From the burden of <em>direct taxes<\/em> in 2023 in each BP6 country, we see that within this group that taxes labor and capital, we must also look at the weight of <em>social security contributions<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The country with the highest burden in BP6 for the payment of social insurance contributions<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a> is BiH with the level of 14.5% of the country&#8217;s GDP. In the same way, Serbia is also part of the countries with a high burden of social security contributions, as citizens receive a sum of payments equal to 13% of the country&#8217;s GDP.<\/p>\n<p>North Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania have a moderate to low level compared to the two countries above in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>North Macedonia collects insurance contributions as income in the state budget at a level of 10.2% of GDP, while Montenegro collects 8% of GDP. Albania is in the last place for the low burden of social insurance and health contributions, with a burden that is 6.2% of GDP<\/p>\n<div style=\"white-space: pre; overflow: auto; width: 100%;\">\n<table width=\"404\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"11\" width=\"982\">Tax burden according to the standard rates of TF and TAP in BP, 2021 &#8211; 2023 (in % of GDP)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"214\">Countries<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"89\">CIT rates(%)<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"4\">Corporate Income Tax (CIT)<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"68\">PIT rates (%)<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"4\" width=\"308\">Personal Income Tax (PIT)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"70\">2021<\/td>\n<td width=\"71\">2022<\/td>\n<td width=\"87\">2023<\/td>\n<td width=\"75\">Av. 3 vite<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2021<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2022<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2023<\/td>\n<td width=\"74\">Mes. 3 vite<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"214\">Albania<\/td>\n<td width=\"89\">5, 15<\/td>\n<td width=\"70\">1.9<\/td>\n<td width=\"71\">2.2<\/td>\n<td width=\"87\">2.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"75\">2.3<\/td>\n<td>0, 8, 13, 23<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2.1<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2.1<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2.5<\/td>\n<td width=\"74\">2.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"214\">Kosovo<\/td>\n<td width=\"89\">3, 9, 10<\/td>\n<td width=\"70\">1.4<\/td>\n<td width=\"71\">1.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"87\">2.0<\/td>\n<td width=\"75\">1.7<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">0, 4, 8, 10<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2.4<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2.4<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2.7<\/td>\n<td width=\"74\">2.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"214\">Montenegro<\/td>\n<td width=\"89\">9, 12, 15<\/td>\n<td width=\"70\">1.6<\/td>\n<td width=\"71\">1.6<\/td>\n<td width=\"87\">1.9<\/td>\n<td width=\"75\">1.7<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">0, 9, 15<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">4.0<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">3.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">3.2<\/td>\n<td width=\"74\">3.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"214\">North Macedonia<\/td>\n<td width=\"89\">1, 10<\/td>\n<td width=\"70\">1.5<\/td>\n<td width=\"71\">1.9<\/td>\n<td width=\"87\">2.0<\/td>\n<td width=\"75\">1.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">10, 15, 70<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">2.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">3.1<\/td>\n<td width=\"74\">2.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"214\">Serbia<\/td>\n<td width=\"89\">15<\/td>\n<td width=\"70\">2.5<\/td>\n<td width=\"71\">2.9<\/td>\n<td width=\"87\">2.7<\/td>\n<td width=\"75\">2.7<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">10, 15<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">3.7<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">4.1<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">4.2<\/td>\n<td width=\"74\">4.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"214\">Bosnia-Herzegovina<\/td>\n<td width=\"89\">10<\/td>\n<td width=\"70\">1.7<\/td>\n<td width=\"71\">1.7<\/td>\n<td width=\"87\">1.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"75\">1.7<\/td>\n<td width=\"68\">2, 10<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">1.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">1.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"78\">1.8<\/td>\n<td width=\"74\">1.8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>If we look at the <em>effective tax rate<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a><\/em> for individuals and businesses, based on the tax burden indicators above (see Tab.) and other macroeconomic indicators, it turns out that the average for BP6 countries is 11.8%.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to EU countries<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a>, which have an effective tax rate of 19.7%, it is seen that there is a difference that is 7.9 percentage points lower.<\/p>\n<p>The highest level is maintained by Serbia with 14.8% followed by Albania with 14.7% and Montenegro with 12.3%.
