Croatia's Parliament is reviewing amendments to the unified tax law for private landlords. If passed, annual tourist rental taxes per bed could rise from 2027, with the exact increase determined by individual cities and municipalities, primarily impacting popular tourist areas.
Key takeaways
- From 2027, Croatia's tourist rental tax may increase, with the exact amount determined by individual cities and municipalities, not a nationwide fixed rate.
- Landlords in popular tourist destinations are most likely to be affected, with recalculations based on the number of beds and property location.
- The proposed amendments are not yet law; landlords should monitor local municipality decisions to prepare for potential budget adjustments for 2027.
Potential Changes to Croatian Tourist Rental Tax
The Croatian Parliament is currently reviewing proposed amendments to the unified tax law that applies to private landlords. These changes could lead to an increase in the minimum annual tax amounts for each bed in tourist rental properties, starting from 2027.
The specific amount of any potential increase will not be uniform across the country. Instead, it will be determined by the local authorities of individual cities and municipalities. This means landlords in popular tourist regions are likely to see the most significant adjustments. If these amendments are adopted, property owners will need to recalculate their annual tax payments based on the number of beds in their accommodation and its specific location.
As the parliamentary vote is still pending and the amendments are not yet finalized, landlords in Croatia are advised to monitor decisions made by their respective municipalities to prepare for potential budget adjustments for 2027.
