How to start a company in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Last checked: November 2026 · Currency: BAM

Company registration in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not done at state level: it depends on where your seat is. In the Federation of BiH you register a d.o.o. with the competent municipal court (minimum capital 1,000 KM); in Republika Srpska you file through APIF's one-stop shop with the district commercial court (minimum capital 1 KM); in Brčko District you register with the Basic Court of Brčko District. Corporate income tax is 10% in all three, while VAT (17%) is handled at state level by the Indirect Taxation Authority (UIO).
