Croatia

General information

Croatia began its e-invoicing journey in 2018, mandating the issuance and acceptance of e-invoices for B2G transactions. This process is facilitated through the central platform "Servis eRačun za državu," which is integrated with the Peppol network to ensure seamless compliance with EU standards.

Looking ahead, Croatia plans to introduce the Fiskalizacija 2.0 system in 2025. This system will expand e-invoicing to B2B transactions and offer several benefits, including invoice fiscalization, support for cashless payments, simplified VAT declarations, and an integrated e-archive.

By 2026, the Ministry of Finance aims to fully implement transactional transmission of e-invoices across all sectors. This initiative is designed to enhance business transparency, reduce administrative burdens, and promote environmental sustainability.

The e-invoicing process in Croatia:

Invoice creation: Suppliers create structured electronic invoices in compliance with the European standard EN 16931.
Submission: Invoices are uploaded to the central platform "Servis eRačun za državu," which facilitates communication between contracting entities, contracting authorities, and information intermediaries.
Validation: The central platform verifies that e-invoices meet all legal and technical requirements.
Processing: Validated invoices are processed by public authorities. While B2G invoicing is mandatory, B2B invoicing is supported but will remain optional until 2026.
Archiving: E-invoices must be archived for 11 years to ensure compliance with Croatian regulations.
