Penalty and interest calculation. Kintsugi does not calculate Bosnia and Herzegovina late-filing, late-payment, or late-registration charges.
Fiscalization and electronic invoicing obligations. The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina introduced a fiscalization law in 2026, with implementation phased in and detailed rules still being issued. Republika Srpska and the Brčko District run their own systems. Kintsugi does not issue Bosnia and Herzegovina fiscal receipts or electronic invoices and does not connect to any of these systems. If you have operations in any of the three, confirm your own obligations locally.
Input tax credit. Kintsugi does not calculate input VAT. You can enter it in Kintsugi if you want it reflected.
Back filings for periods before Kintsugi took over. Raise these with us so they can be assessed separately.
Customs declarations and import VAT. Settled at the border, outside Kintsugi's filings.
This article is general information about how Kintsugi works, not tax advice for your specific situation.
