Which Laws Apply to Your Crypto Business?
Your business must follow Bosnia and Herzegovina’s AML/CFT law, along with the rules that apply where it is established and provides services—Republika Srpska, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina or Brčko District.
| Confirmed | the Commission’s May 27, 2026 notice distinguishes record entry from operating approval |
| Territory-dependent | National AML obligations do not establish identical filing procedures everywhere |
| Before filing | check current forms, officer evidence and the 2026 fee tariff |
Obligations depend on services, territory and customer risk:
The RS reporting requirements are set out in the Commission’s current reporting rule.
Tax residence and transaction treatment matter alongside headline rates.
Corporate income tax: 10% on taxable profits in RS, FBiH and Brčko
VAT: Standard rate: 17%. Assess each service and any applicable exemption
Dividends: Check recipient status, applicable territorial rules and treaties
VAT treatment depends on the type of crypto transaction, while taxes on profit distributions depend on the applicable rules and the recipient’s circumstances.
Banks, electronic money institutions (EMIs) and payment service providers (PSPs) make their own account decisions.
A capital-deposit account, an operating account and a client-funds account serve different purposes. One does not replace the others.
| Market | Model and market access | Capital basis | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bosnia, RS | Provider record, no MiCA passport | D.o.o.: 1 BAM | Non-EU base |
| Montenegro | Commission registration, no MiCA passport | Confirm for chosen structure | Alternative regional base |
| EU MiCA | Crypto-asset service provider (CASP) authorization and cross-border notification | Capital basis: €50,000/€125,000/€150,000 service-class thresholds | EU expansion |
| Switzerland | Model and market access: Self-regulatory organization (SRO) affiliation where applicable, no MiCA passport | GmbH: CHF20,000, additional rules may apply | Swiss financial intermediary. |
MiCA safeguards must meet the higher of the relevant threshold and one quarter of annual fixed overheads. Corporate formation capital and regulatory safeguards are different measures.
Yes. RS company-formation rules allow foreign individuals and companies as founders. Gofaizen & Sherle can assess the ownership structure and required evidence before incorporation. Foreign owners will need to provide identification, information about the source of their funds and the required documents for the company’s director.
Some company formation steps can be handled remotely through a notarized power of attorney. However, the director may need to visit Republika Srpska to complete local formalities and open a bank account. Gofaizen & Sherle will clarify which steps require a visit so you can plan ahead.
The staffing arrangement needs assessment. The RS rules allow a declaration for businesses with four or fewer employees. This does not remove AML responsibilities. Gofaizen & Sherle can assess the applicable arrangement and prepare officer documentation.
