  • Extended Deadlines: The proposed changes would extend the deadline for submitting various VAT declarations and forms from the 20th day to the last day of the month following the end of the tax period.
  • Reduced Administrative Burden: The legislation aims to lower the administrative burden for businesses by eliminating the need to submit special records of invoices received and returns for domestic supplies with a reverse charge.
  • Invoice Rule Changes: The bill proposes waiving invoice requirements for exchange transactions within Croatia and removing the need for recipient consent for the issuance of mandatory electronic invoices.
  • Effective Date: If passed, the amendments to the VAT Act are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026.
