Croatia is one of those countries in which taxes and social contributions account for about half of the income of individuals - this is due to the fact that its territory has a high level of VAT and the amount of income tax. However, there is a relatively low bar for taxes on real estate and on transactions related to it. At the same time, the annual real estate tax is not levied on all properties.
Taxes on the purchase and sale of real estate
Local experts in the real estate market, when deciding on the purchase of real estate in Croatia, advise in advance to take into account the additional costs that the buyer will incur. These will primarily be:- transfer tax at the rate of 3% of the amount
- sales contract agency commission 3% + VAT on it
- notary and registration fees 0.01-0.05% payment
- services of a certified translator 200-300 euros lawyer services 0.5-1% + VAT on their cost

so that the author of the comment lagged by 2 years.
2) Next, about the return of VAT - yes, it is possible under certain conditions - to ensure that there was a VAT refund:
a) it must be a primary market
b) The contractor shall be legal entities as part of the VAT
c) The firm Russian who buys should also be recorded as part of the VAT and show activity!
The authorized capital is actually 20,000 kuna (approximately 2,800 euros), but in the article there is no mention of authorized capital! Here is a quote from the article:
"The owner of the company has to pay the tax" on the company name "(up to 2,000 Croatian kuna (approximately 270 euros) per year)"
Tax "on the name of the company", and not the authorized capital.
