Croatia – beautiful country to live or retire or just to enjoy holidays

Croatia has much to offer for the property buyer, including an enormous variety of landscapes, a wide choice of unique cities, towns and villages, a great climate, wonderful beaches and crystal clear sea.

Good news for buyers! Property transfer tax is now reduced to 3% as of January 1st 2019. This relates to all buyers, natural persons or buyers who buy through company.

Exempt from paying property transfer tax are buyers who buy from company a new built apartment which was not yet used. In this case seller who is company is obliged to pay VAT, therefore to avoid double taxation, buyer is not paying property transfer tax.
