Legal framework for e-invoicing in Croatia

In Croatia, businesses must comply with e-invoicing regulations to ensure secure, authentic, and storable transactions. The main legal framework governing e-invoicing in Croatia is the Fiscalization Act and its related requirements for public procurement, which are aligned with EU Directive 2014/55/EU on e-invoicing in public procurement. Under these regulations, all businesses involved in B2G transactions are required to use electronic invoicing via the CIS, Croatia’s official platform for public sector e-invoicing. Croatia is also part of the Peppol network, facilitating standardized cross-border e-invoicing within the European Union. Furthermore, e-invoicing is increasingly encouraged for B2B transactions, promoting greater transparency and tax compliance.
