VAT Registration

Establishing a business presence or selling goods in Croatia requires a clear understanding of its VAT (Value Added Tax) registration process. Whether you are a local enterprise or a foreign company, meeting the necessary requirements is a critical first step to ensuring full compliance with Croatian tax law.

Understanding Your Obligation to Register

Your requirement to register for VAT in Croatia depends on your business’s turnover and location.

For Domestic Companies: Local businesses must register for VAT once their annual turnover from taxable supplies exceeds €40,000.
For Non-Resident Companies: If you are a foreign company selling goods to consumers in Croatia via distance sales, you are required to register for VAT once your total annual sales across all EU countries surpass the distance selling threshold of €10,000. This rule is designed to simplify compliance across the EU, but it’s important to be aware of the threshold’s impact on your business.

Non-resident companies that make other types of taxable supplies in Croatia, such as supplying services with a reverse charge mechanism, may also need to register, even without meeting a specific turnover threshold.

The Registration Process

Once you determine that your business is required to register, the process involves submitting an application to the Croatian Tax Administration. To ensure a smooth process, you’ll need to prepare and provide the following documentation:

A certified copy of your company’s official registration or a similar document proving its legal existence.
A certified copy of your home country’s VAT certificate.
A Power of Attorney if you plan to use a local representative to manage the process on your behalf.

By submitting these documents and following the proper procedure, your business can obtain its Croatian VAT ID number and begin operating in full compliance with local regulations.
