With the recent decision of the Ministry of Finance, the privilege of refueling without paying duties, which they had the right to for the last four and a half years, was revoked for owners of yachts in Montenegro.
By re-introducing the collection of excise and fuel taxes, the Government wanted to show that the time has come for the richest to show solidarity with citizens and the economy, stating that this will not have negative consequences for yachting tourism.
The president of the country does not think so, even though he was faced with the calculation of a loss of almost 60 million euros since 2018, based on this.
Journalist Siniša Luković Đukanović reminds that this consequence is an obstacle for Montenegro on its way to the European Union, while the civil sector is proposing the introduction of a tax on luxury goods, stating that this could help to finally build a hospital after decades and develop numerous missing social services. .
