Croatia has introduced a stricter tax-transparency law aimed at reducing the concealment of income, offshore assets and cryptocurrency holdings. The reform expands the Tax Administration’s authority and ensures broader automatic data sharing with other EU member states, making it harder for individuals to hide financial activity abroad.
Financial institutions, online platforms and crypto-service providers will now be required to gather and submit more detailed user information, from account structures to transaction records.
The goal is to close existing loopholes, prevent tax evasion and align Croatia with the newest EU standards.
The system will be phased in over the coming year, with full-scale reporting expected to begin in 2027, marking a significant shift toward tighter oversight of digital and cross-border finances.
