Electronic service "One Counter System" – a "one-stop-shop" between the Business Registers Agency (APR) and the Central Register of Mandatory Social Insurance (CROSO) has been improved thus significantly facilitating starting a business.

Owing to this electronic system now you need one step less in order for a company to start operations.

If the founder of the Company is the registered representative in the Business Registers Agency, then the APR is using the M form to register this representative to the mandatory social insurance in CROSO.

Entrepreneurs had the opportunity to use this service, and now this is enabled to companies.

All companies registering incorporation in the APR owing to the one-counter system will receive benefits introduced in previous years, this shortening the procedure for initiation of operations.

Let us review what is delivered by the APR owing to the automated communication with other institutions: When the Business Registers Agency adopts 

1. Company incorporation decision, 

2. at the same time, the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia assigns the registration number, 

3. and the Tax Administration assigns the tax identification number (PIB/TIN), since the REG form is submitted.

4. By submitting the uniform registration application for the incorporation of a company, since 2016, in the APR, you can also register for flat-rate, that is, personal income taxation for entrepreneurs and

5. VAT application, if so stipulated by the company upon incorporation

6. And now, through M form registration for mandatory social insurance is performed as well

We would like to remind you that the company must perform all activities related to opening bank accounts independently from the incorporation in the APR.
