From 1 January 2026, Croatia’s new fiscalisation rules mandate e-invoicing and continuous transaction reporting for domestic B2B and B2G transactions, requiring both issuers and recipients to report separately to the fiscalisation system under a decentralised CTC model. Transactions with Croatian public entities already use e-invoices and must also be reported to the fiscalisation system. Issuers must report payments through the e-Reporting service, and buyers must use the service to report rejected e-invoices. B2C businesses continue to report cash, card and cheque sales to the fiscalisation system, with online payments such as bank transfers, Google Pay and PayPal also included in mandatory reporting from 1 January 2026.

B2C

Fiscalisation of B2C final-consumer invoices is required for sole proprietors or self-employed persons subject to personal income tax on business income, and companies subject to corporate profit tax.

B2B and B2G:

The rules apply to taxpayers in Croatia, including VAT-registered taxpayers, self-employed income-tax payers, and corporate income-tax payers with a registered office, permanent residence, or usual residence in Croatia. They also apply to public sector entities, including state administration bodies, local government units, and budgetary or extra-budgetary users listed in the Register of Budgetary and Extra-Budgetary Users.

Do I need to have a permanent establishment in Croatia to be required to e-Invoice?
Fixed establishment: Requires permanence and sufficient human and technical resources; a VAT number alone is not enough.
 
Permanent establishment: A fixed place through which a foreign business carries out business activities in Croatia, in whole or in part.

e-Invoicing and Fiscalisation: Not required where the transaction is not domestic or the counterparty is not covered by the e-Invoicing rules. Cross-border invoices follow general invoicing rules, with no e-Invoicing or Fiscalisation obligation.

Yes, if you are resident/established:


Businesses that are established in Croatia, or have a fixed/permanent establishment in Croatia involved in the relevant transaction, must comply with Croatian e-invoicing and Fiscalisation rules for covered domestic B2B and B2G transactions.

No, if non-established: Non-resident entities that do not have a fixed/permanent establishment in Croatia are not required to issue Croatian e-Invoices merely because they have a Croatian VAT registration or fiscal representative. Cross-border invoices follow the general invoicing rules and are not subject to Croatian e-invoicing or Fiscalisation.
Issuer: Fiscalise at issuance (separate from exchange).
Self-billing: Fiscalise within 5 working days of the invoice date.
Recipient: Fiscalise within 5 working days of receipt (separate from exchange).
Outage: If tech/Internet issues, Fiscalise within 5 working days of the incident.
Rejections (eReporting): No deadline to reject, but report all rejections from the previous month by the 20th of the month

Geringe Bußgelder für Verbraucher (30–260 Euro) bis hin zu erheblichen Geldstrafen für juristische Personen (bis zu 80.000 Euro bei wiederholten schweren Verstößen)

Einzelunternehmer (bis zu 45.000 EUR)

Softwareanbieter (bis zu 66.360 Euro)

Zu den schwerwiegenden Verstößen zählen die Nichtregistrierung von Rechnungen, fehlende Pflichtangaben oder die Nichtverwendung zugelassener Systeme, während geringfügige Verstöße administrative und melderechtliche Versäumnisse betreffen.

Steps to be performed by customer

1. Beziehen Sie von einem autorisierten Anbieter ein digitales Zertifikat, das mit der OIB-Nummer Ihres Unternehmens verknüpft ist, um die Anforderungen der Fiskalisierung zu erfüllen.

Steps VAT IT can assist with

2. Implement or connect to a compliant software solution or information intermediary capable of issuing, receiving, exchanging, and Fiscalising e-invoices.
3. Register and verify the electronic invoice reception address in the Directory of Metadata Services, AMS, so that senders can identify the correct final delivery address for receiving e-invoices.
4. Enable Fiscalisation reporting to the Croatian Tax Administration for both issued and received e-invoices. Issuers must Fiscalise at the time the e-invoice is issued, while recipients must Fiscalise received e-invoices within five working days of receipt.
5. Enable the required e-Reporting processes, including reporting rejected e-invoices and reporting invoice collection/payment information by the 20th day of the month for the previous month.
6. Implement secure electronic archiving for issued and received e-invoices in their original form for six years from the end of the year in which the e-invoices were issued, provided Fiscalisation was completed.

In summary

*eezi can assist by providing a B2B and B2G e-Invoicing solution that supports the issuing, receiving, exchange, and Fiscalisation of Croatian e-Invoices. Additionally, we can help clients connect to the relevant e-Invoicing infrastructure, transmit the required Fiscalisation messages, manage invoice data in the required structured format, support recipient-side and issuer-side reporting flows, and assist with e-Reporting processes such as rejected invoices and invoice collection information where included in scope.
