The Croatian Tax Administration has confirmed that the national fiscalization and e-invoicing system is operating normally. Messages advising companies to postpone sending e-invoices are incorrect and not issued through official channels.
No disruption to Croatia’s fiscalization system
The Croatian Ministry of Finance, via its Tax Administration, has formally denied claims that the fiscalization system is unstable. According to the authority, the system is functioning in line with technical specifications and remains fully available for taxpayers.
Recent messages circulated among businesses suggesting that e-invoices should not be sent until 7 January due to alleged system instability. The Tax Administration has explicitly stated that these messages are false.
This clarification follows a series of recent developments in Croatia’s e-invoicing framework, including the launch of a new fiscalization hub designed to support taxpayers and improve system transparency. Dynatos previously covered this in Croatia launches new fiscalization hub for taxpayers.
Official communication remains key
The Tax Administration stressed that the recommendation to delay e-invoicing did not originate from any official authority. Companies are advised to rely exclusively on official government communication when assessing the status of the fiscalization and e-invoicing system.
This message aligns with earlier guidance around Croatia’s broader e-invoicing roadmap. As outlined in Croatia 2026 e-invoicing update, the country is moving towards a structured and mandatory e-invoicing environment with clear timelines and responsibilities.
Legal action against misinformation
In its statement, the Tax Administration also warned that it will take legal action against the spread of false information. Any messages, disinformation, or actions that could undermine the stability of the fiscalization system may be subject to legal consequences.
The authority emphasised that the fiscalization system is considered critical state information infrastructure. Attempts to destabilise or discredit it are therefore treated as a serious offence.
What this means in the context of the 2026 mandate
For companies operating in Croatia, the message is clear. There is no technical or regulatory justification for delaying e-invoicing. Standard processes must continue in line with existing fiscalization requirements.
This clarification is particularly relevant given the upcoming mandatory e-invoicing obligations. Dynatos has previously outlined that Croatia will introduce mandatory B2B and B2G e-invoicing from 2026 in B2B and B2G e-invoicing becomes mandatory in Croatia, and confirmed the mandate in more detail in Croatia confirms mandatory e-invoicing from 2026.
The current statement reinforces that the Croatian authorities remain confident in the readiness and stability of the system supporting this transition.
Key takeaways for companies
Changes companies need to implement or consider
- Continue sending e-invoices without postponement
- Disregard unofficial messages suggesting system instability
- Follow only official communications from the Croatian Tax Administration
- Align internal teams to avoid unnecessary delays or compliance risks
- Prepare consistently for mandatory B2B and B2G e-invoicing from 2026
