How reliable is this figure

Graded high: this rate has been checked against a tax-authority or official source. It is still your responsibility to confirm it before you rely on it.

Whatever the grade, your own setting always wins — a rate you enter overrides the registry everywhere, including on documents already dated in the past.

Document types recognised in Serbia

Tax identifier

On a document issued in Serbia the identifier is labelled VAT number. It is printed in the header of every tax document, isolated left-to-right so it reads correctly in any interface language.

No structural check is applied for Serbia: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.

Numbering

Documents in Serbia are expected to run in an unbroken sequence. DocsOrigin allocates the number at the moment of issue — never earlier — so a draft that is abandoned does not burn a number and leave a gap you have to explain.

Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.

How Serbia writes dates and money

Set the country and these stop being settings you have to think about. The examples below are rendered by the same formatter the documents use.

Date: 21.09.2026
Amount: 12 345,67 дин
Currency: RSD
Minor units: 2

⁨RSD⁩ is written with ⁨2⁩ decimal places, and every amount is stored as a whole number of minor units. ⛔ Money never touches floating point.

A worked example in Serbia

Three lines, priced identically everywhere, run through the real tax engine with the Serbia registry entry applied. This is what the document looks like there.

Invoicing in Serbia — questions

What tax rate do I charge in Serbia?

The standard VAT rate recorded for Serbia is ⁨20%⁩. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.

Which document do I issue to a customer in Serbia?

The document set recognised in Serbia is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Momsdeklarerad faktura, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.

Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Serbia?

No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Serbia as everywhere else: no subscription, no card, no trial, no per-document fee and no export fee. Optional professional services are the only thing that is ever charged for, and they are quoted per project.

What if the rate for Serbia is wrong or changes?

Set your own rate in the business settings and it overrides the registry immediately, for new documents and for any date. Rates are applied by document date, so an old document keeps the rate that applied when it was issued.
