Frequently Asked Questions

When are Croatian VAT returns due in 2026?
From the January 2026 period, the PDV return, the ZP and the PDV-S are due by the last day of the month following the tax period, the same day the VAT must be paid (amendment published in Narodne novine 151/2025). The December 2025 / Q4 2025 period still followed the old rule: return by 20 January 2026, payment by the end of January.
Who can file VAT quarterly in Croatia?
The tax period is monthly by default. Businesses whose supplies in the previous year were below €110,000 including VAT may use quarterly periods, unless they acquire goods or receive services from other EU states.
Do employees in Croatia file an annual income tax return?
No. The DOH return, due by the end of February, is mandatory for people with self-employment income who keep books. Porezna uprava calculates employees’ annual tax itself; they can file the optional ZPP-DOH form by the same date to claim reliefs it has no data for.
When is JOPPD filed?
JOPPD is filed on the day income is paid. Salaries must be paid by the 15th of the following month at the latest, and income tax and contributions are due at the same time as the salary.
What happens when a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday?
It moves to the next working day: the General Tax Act applies the Administrative Procedure Act, which extends a deadline ending on a non-working day. Porezna uprava applied this to the 2025 DOH deadline, moving it from Saturday 28 February to Monday 2 March 2026.
How often is VAT filed in Croatia?
This calendar shows a monthly VAT filing — 12 of them across the 2026–2027 calendar. Filing frequency depends on the turnover band and the scheme a business is registered under, so a smaller business may report less often than the monthly cycle listed here. Confirm your own frequency with Porezna uprava.
When is the corporate income tax return due in Croatia?
Apr 30, 2026 — Corporate income tax return and payment (PD) — 2025 and Apr 30, 2027 — Corporate income tax return and payment (PD) — 2026. Croatia's tax year in this calendar runs January 1 to December 31, so a company on a non-calendar financial year will have different dates. Porezna uprava publishes the authoritative schedule.
When is the personal income tax return due in Croatia?
Jan 15, 2026 (Flat-rate taxpayer annual report (PO-SD) — 2025), Mar 2, 2026 (Annual personal income tax return (DOH) — 2025), Jan 15, 2027 (Flat-rate taxpayer annual report (PO-SD) — 2026) and Mar 1, 2027 (Annual personal income tax return (DOH) — 2026). Extensions and agent-filed deadlines can differ; the dates above are the ones shown on this calendar.
How often are payroll and social security contributions paid in Croatia?
The calendar lists 12 payroll & social security deadlines on the 15th for the 2026–2027 period — a monthly cycle. Employer obligations depend on headcount and payroll size.
What does this Croatia tax calendar cover?
159 filing and payment deadlines for 2026–2027, grouped by month: payroll & social security, prepayments, vat, ec sales list, personal income tax and corporate tax. Each entry names the form where one applies and flags public holidays that fall near a deadline. The authority behind these dates is Porezna uprava.
Is this calendar official Porezna uprava guidance?
No. It is a plain-English summary built to help you plan, and it is not tax advice. Dates can change, and your own obligations depend on your registration, turnover and scheme. Always confirm against Porezna uprava before you rely on a date, and speak to a qualified adviser about your own situation.
Do EU-wide VAT rules change these Croatia dates?
The EU VAT Directive sets a common framework, but each member state keeps its own filing calendar, thresholds and rates — which is why Croatia has its own page here rather than a shared EU one. If you sell across borders, the One-Stop Shop lets you declare VAT centrally instead of registering in each country.

Before you file or pay

How to verify a Croatia tax deadline

1. Match the obligation. Check the tax type, period, registration and filing method. A VAT, payroll or income-tax date may not apply to every taxpayer.
2. Check the live notice. Public holidays, agent arrangements, extensions and account-specific instructions can change the operational due date.
3. Keep proof. Save the submission receipt and payment confirmation. Filing and paying can be separate actions with separate cut-off times.

Why this matters: missed dates can lead to late filing charges, interest, loss of a relief or an avoidable compliance review. This page is a planning aid, not a legal determination. It was last content-reviewed on 2026-10-09; verify the live rule with Porezna uprava before acting.
