Croatia Ends 'Soft Landing' Period for Mandatory B2B and B2G E-Invoicing
Effective January 1, 2026, Croatia implemented mandatory e-invoicing for VAT-registered businesses engaging in domestic B2B and B2G transactions, requiring the issuance, receipt, and fiscalization of structured e-invoices. Over 330,000 businesses are reportedly participating in this system. This regulatory shift aims to enhance transparency and efficiency in the country's tax administration. On November 10, 2026, the Croatian Tax Administration announced the conclusion of its initial 'soft landing' period, during which enforcement was more lenient. This signifies a move towards stricter adherence to the e-invoicing regulations, meaning businesses must ensure full compliance to avoid penalties.
Key takeaways
- Croatian VAT-registered businesses must now ensure full compliance with B2B and B2G e-invoicing mandates, as the lenient 'soft landing' period has concluded.
- Companies operating in Croatia need to verify their systems are robustly integrated for issuing, receiving, and fiscalizing structured e-invoices.
- Tax and IT teams should review their current e-invoicing processes in Croatia to ensure they meet all regulatory requirements and avoid potential penalties.
