Croatia VAT Registration Yacht
In compliance with the Act on Value Added Tax, while Croatia's standard VAT rate stands at 25%, charter fees are subject to a reduced 13% VAT rate. It's important to note that there are no further reductions allowed for VAT rates concerning charters involving international voyages within Croatia.
According to the Tax Administration's guidance, the application of the 13% VAT on charter fees is as follows:
· For all charters originating in Croatia with a cruising area within EU waters, the 13% VAT applies to the entire charter fee.
· For charters commencing outside the EU and entering Croatian territorial waters, the 13% VAT is applicable only for the number of days spent within Croatian territorial waters, including the day of arrival in Croatia.
· For charters starting in Croatia but concluding outside the EU (e.g., Montenegro), the 13% VAT applies solely to the portion (days) of the cruise spent in EU waters.
“It is reassuring for us to be working alongside you throughout all these changes! ”
