How to declare a business to the Department of Tax Services

As soon as the authorisation to carry out a business activity has been granted or a receipt of declaration has been received, any company established in Monaco must be declared to the Department of Tax Services. Declaration of the existence of a company is an obligatory formality stipulated in article 66 of the Turnover Tax Code.

There is no charge for this formality. The declaration is made directly to the Department of Tax Services, at the Tax Division counter.
