VAT (VALUE ADDED TAX )
TAXPAYER
1. Any person who independently performs any economic activity regardless of the purpose or result of performing that activity.
2. Any person who occasionally supplies new means of transport (for example citizens and ministries).
3. A taxpayer who does not have headquarters, a permanent establishment or permanent or habitual residence on the territory of the Republic of Croatia and carries out supply of goods or services on the home territory which is taxable in the Republic of Croatia (unless VAT is paid by the goods or services recipient from Croatia). Taxpayers who have headquarters in the European Union may appoint a tax representative in the Republic of Croatia, while taxpayers with headquarters outside the European Union have to appoint tax representative as the person liable to pay VAT.
4. State government bodies, state administration bodies, the bodies and units of local and regional self-government, chambers and other bodies governed by public law if performing economic or other activity, and non-taxation of those activities would result in distortion of market competition.
