Croatia uses a specific type of online fiscalization. It is mandatory for all taxpayers, whereas the certification of fiscal devices and POS application certification are not mandatory. The country has used the euro (€) as its official currency since January 1, 2023.

Online authorization is a key element of the Croatian fiscalization system. Every receipt must be transmitted from the POS system to the Tax Authority’s central server, which requires an active internet connection. The server responds with specific identification codes that must be printed on the receipt. If the internet connection is unavailable, sales may continue in offline mode. In such cases, all transactions must be subsequently sent for authorization once connectivity is restored, no later than 48 hours after the transaction was issued.
