Croatia taxes on the calendar year for individuals and, as a rule, for companies (Profit Tax Act, art. 29(1)). The authority is the Tax Administration (Porezna uprava). Currency: euro. Article numbers below are to the Profit Tax Act (Zakon o porezu na dobit, "ZPD"), the Personal Income Tax Act (Zakon o porezu na dohodak, "ZPDoh"), the General Tax Act (Opći porezni zakon, "OPZ") and the Profit Tax Rulebook (Pravilnik o porezu na dobit). The 2026 amendments to the Profit Tax Act (NN 151/25, in force 1 January 2026) rewrote the foreign tax credit (art. 30) but did not touch the article 31 withholding rates.
This skill links to its siblings instead of repeating them:
hr-corporate-income-tax: the company return. Note that it still carries 2025 text and lists a 15% withholding on market research, advisory and audit services; see "Services" below for why that no longer applies to ordinary payees.croatia-income-tax: the personal return, rates and allowances in full.croatia-payroll and croatia-social-contributions: payroll withholding, JOPPD and contributions.croatia-vat-return: VAT on services bought from non-residents.hr-transfer-pricing: related-party pricing, documentation and the 2026 related-party loan rate.Individuals. A resident is an individual with a home (prebivalište) or habitual abode (uobičajeno boravište) in Croatia. A person without either who works in the Croatian state service and is paid for it is also resident (ZPDoh, art. 3). A non-resident is an individual with neither who earns income taxable under the Act (ZPDoh, art. 4).
A resident is taxed on worldwide income. A non-resident is taxed only on income earned in Croatia (ZPDoh, art. 6). In the year a person becomes resident or stops being resident, the tax period is split into the resident and non-resident parts (ZPDoh, art. 7(2) point 1). The Tax Administration asks for questionnaire TU on arrival (non-resident to resident) and TI on departure (resident to non-resident) (Tax Administration, residence page).
Companies. A legal or natural person is resident if its seat is entered in a court or other register in Croatia, or its place of effective management and supervision is in Croatia. A natural-person entrepreneur with a home or habitual abode in Croatia whose business is registered is also resident (ZPD, art. 3(1)). A resident company is taxed on profit earned in Croatia and abroad; a non-resident only on profit earned in Croatia (ZPD, art. 5(2) and (3)). A Croatian branch of a foreign business (poslovna jedinica) is itself a taxpayer (ZPD, art. 2(2) and art. 4).
Permanent establishment (OPZ, art. 45, as replaced by NN 106/18). A fixed place of business through which a non-resident carries on business, in particular a place of management, branch, office, factory, workshop or mine. Also:
Storage, display, delivery, purchasing, information gathering and other preparatory or auxiliary activities do not create a PE, unless they form part of a cohesive business with a related party in Croatia (art. 45(6) and (7)). Income from Croatian real estate can be taxed whatever the thresholds (art. 45(5)).

Services. The Profit Tax Act once taxed market research, tax and business advisory and audit services paid abroad at 15% (original art. 31(6), NN 177/04). Before NN 114/23 that services clause was paragraph 6 and the 15% rate paragraph 7. NN 114/23 (published 4 October 2023, in force on the eighth day after; applied to tax periods from 1 January 2024: arts. 9, 13(1) and 15) replaced paragraph 6 with the general 15% rate and paragraph 7 with the 10% dividend rate, and dropped the services clause. The consolidated Act in force for 2026 lists in paragraph 4 only interest, dividends, profit shares and intellectual property rights. Those services now appear only in paragraph 12, so they bear withholding only at 25%, and only when paid to a listed non-cooperative jurisdiction with no Croatian treaty. Paid to any other non-resident, they bear no Croatian withholding. Some Tax Administration guidance pages still list these services among withholding items; the Act governs.
Withholding. The payer is the taxpayer. The base is the gross fee the Croatian payer pays to the foreign recipient (ZPD, art. 31(2) and (3)). Where VAT is charged on a royalty, withholding is on the amount without VAT, and interest settled without a cash payment counts as paid (Rulebook, art. 49(1) and (3)). A Croatian branch that pays interest, dividends or royalties to its foreign head office withholds too. A fee that is booked as income of a Croatian branch of the foreign recipient is not subject to withholding (ZPD, art. 31(8) and (9)). Software bought for use is not a royalty; software licensed with rights to resell or develop it is (Rulebook, art. 49(6)).
Which list. Whether the 25% rate applies is decided by the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions in the Official Journal and on the Council website on the day of payment (Rulebook, art. 50(10)).
Non-resident individuals. Croatian-source employment, business, property, capital and other income is taxed (ZPDoh, art. 6(2)). Employment income gets the EUR 600 monthly allowance only for months with Croatian income (ZPDoh, art. 16(1)). An EU or EEA resident who earns at least 90% of world income in Croatia, exempt in the home state, may claim resident allowances for the whole year in the annual return (ZPDoh, art. 16(3)). Dividends and interest are taxed at 12% by withholding at payment. Performers paid through a foreign entity fall under the 10% profit-tax withholding instead (ZPDoh, art. 6(3)).
Non-resident companies with a PE pay profit tax on the PE's Croatian profit at the article 28 rate.
Foreign tax credit, companies (ZPD, art. 30, rewritten by NN 151/25 from 1 January 2026):
Foreign tax credit, individuals. Tax paid abroad is credited item by item, only with a foreign authority certificate, and not where it was paid against the terms of an applicable treaty (ZPDoh, art. 80(2) to (4)).
Leaving Croatia: companies (exit tax). The taxpayer adds to its base the difference between market value and tax value of assets when it (ZPD, art. 30.d, added by NN 121/19, in force 1 January 2020):
Assets due to return within 12 months, and transfers for securities financing, collateral, prudential capital or liquidity management, are excluded (art. 30.d(4)). On a transfer to an EU state, or an EEA state with a recovery-assistance agreement, the amount can be included in the base over five tax periods, with a suitable guarantee and with interest (art. 30.d(6)).
Leaving Croatia: individuals. The Personal Income Tax Act has no exit charge on individuals. The year of departure is split: resident to the date of the change, non-resident after it (ZPDoh, art. 7(2)).

| Capital gains tax on financial assets | by the last day of February of the next year | ZPDoh art. 70(4) |
Treaty claim forms (Rulebook, art. 51(3)). Four forms, one per type of payment, each titled "Zahtjev ... prema Ugovoru o izbjegavanju dvostrukog oporezivanja između Republike Hrvatske i [state]":
The non-resident has the form certified by its own tax authority and gives two copies to the Croatian payer. The payer sends one to the Tax Administration at payment and keeps one (art. 51(6)). Where the treaty removes withholding altogether, a certificate of residence from the foreign authority is enough instead of the form (art. 51(4)). If the payer holds neither at the time of payment, it must withhold at the domestic rate (art. 51(8)).

Lika d.o.o. completes a cross-border conversion and moves its registered seat and management to Austria on 30 June 2026. It becomes Austrian resident. On that date its assets have a market value of EUR 2,500,000 and a tax value of EUR 1,100,000. A warehouse with market value EUR 600,000 and tax value EUR 300,000 stays in a Croatian PE. Revenue in the short period to 30 June is above EUR 1,000,000, so the rate is 18%.
Exit base: the total difference of EUR 1,400,000 less the EUR 300,000 difference on the warehouse, which stays connected with the Croatian PE (art. 30.d(2)). That leaves EUR 1,100,000. Tax at 18%: EUR 198,000. Lika notifies the Tax Administration within 8 days.
Edge case: the move is to an EU state, so with a suitable guarantee Lika can include the EUR 1,100,000 over five tax periods, EUR 220,000 a period. That is EUR 39,600 of tax a period at 18%, plus interest on the deferral (art. 30.d(6)). The rate each period is set by that period's revenue; this example assumes 18% throughout.
