Croatia E-Invoicing Compliance Overview
Croatia first introduced mandatory e-invoicing for public sector transactions (B2G) in 2019, through the national platform Servis eRačun managed by FINA.
As part of the government’s Fiscalization 2.0 project, the scope of e-invoicing is now expanding to B2B transactions.
Starting January 1, 2026, e-invoicing will become mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses involved in domestic B2B operations.
By January 2027, the requirement is expected to extend to non-VAT entities and additional business types.

Questions About The Croatia Regulation
E-invoicing became mandatory for business-to-government (B2G) transactions in July 2019, through the national platform Servis eRačun, operated by FINA. All suppliers to public entities must issue invoices electronically.
The Fiscalization 2.0 reform introduces mandatory B2B e-invoicing starting January 1, 2026. A pilot phase is expected in late 2025 to test system integration and business readiness.
Croatia’s B2B e-invoicing framework will follow EN 16931 standards, supporting structured formats such as UBL 2.1, CII 3.0, and Peppol BIS 3.0. These ensure compatibility across the EU and Peppol networks.
Invoices can be exchanged through the Servis eRačun national portal or directly via the Peppol network.
Each invoice will undergo real-time validation to ensure accuracy, tax compliance, and format integrity before being approved.
All VAT-registered businesses in Croatia issuing or receiving domestic B2B invoices will be required to comply.
Additionally, foreign companies registered for VAT in Croatia must follow the same e-invoicing standards.
