Living There

INDIVIDUAL TAXATION

Residents are liable to pay taxes on their worldwide income. Individuals who have a permanent dwelling or are present in the country for more than 183 days in a year are considered residents.

INCOME TAX

Residents in Macedonia are liable to pay income tax at a flat rate of 12%. In computing the tax liability, expenses incurred in the generation of income are deductible. The personal allowance of MKD 36,768 (€597) may also be deducted from the gross income.

Capital Gains

Capital gains from the sale of real estate property are taxed as ordinary income at the 12% rate. Capital gains are calculated as selling price less acquisition costs, maintenance costs and depreciation. The tax is then levied on 70% of the calculated capital gain. Capital gains realized on real estate property after an ownership period of 3 years are exempt from taxation.
