- Croatian Parliament approved a “floating VAT” on fuel, allowing the government to temporarily reduce VAT on petroleum products by up to 10 percentage points during energy price surges, especially if Middle East conflicts escalate.
- The government can set temporary VAT rates for energy products subject to excise duties, with the general VAT on fuel currently at 25%, but can be reduced to 15% per EU rules.
- Opposition criticized the government for rising inflation and called for a tax on extra profits for companies benefiting from inflation.
- Parliament also amended the law on illegal buildings, removing the deadline for legalization requests for structures built before June 21, 2011, which some MPs argue encourages illegal construction.
