Mandatory e-invoicing in Croatia

Croatia has made e-invoicing mandatory in B2G (business-to-government) transactions as early as 2019, as part of the implementation of EU Directive 2014/55/EU.
Since then, all public procurement entities must issue and send electronic invoices in a structured format.

The Croatian government plans to gradually extend the e-invoicing obligation to domestic B2B transactions in order to increase the automation of billing and reduce VAT gaps.

The legislative timetable calls for:

  • mandatory receipt of e-invoices by all companies will be introduced first,
  • thereafter, the obligation to issue e-invoices in B2B relations will be implemented in stages, with a currently anticipated start of 2026-2027.
E-invoices in Croatia must be in a structured format compliant with EN 16931 for automatic processing and validation.

E-invoicing standards in Croatia

Croatia has a central state platform, Servis eRačun za javnu nabavu (SRN), which handles e-invoicing in the public sector (B2G).

The system is based on structured formats compliant with the European EN 16931 standard, which enables automatic processing. Companies can send e-invoices to the public administration through certified e-invoicing service providers that are connected to the SRN.

The main components of the system are:

  • SRN (Servis eRačun za javnu nabavu) - a central platform for receiving and processing e-invoices by public sector entities,

  • E-invoicing service providers - private operators integrated into the SRN, enabling the transmission of invoices on behalf of enterprises,

  • UBL 2.1 format compliant with EN 16931 - used for creating and sending e-invoices in the public sector and planned for implementation in B2B.

  • Peppol - an optional network for EN 16931-compliant e-invoice exchange, mainly used for B2B international transactions; some Croatian service providers are accredited Peppol Access Points.

Why do CFOs choose Infinite GIP?

Infinite is a certified PEPPOL access point

This means that we are officially authorized to send documents via the PEPPOL network - the European standard for electronic data exchange (invoices, orders, etc.).

You send invoices and documents to administrations and business partners in Europe directly through PEPPOL, without additional integrations.

Compliance with EU security and interoperability standards (including eIDAS and RODO).

Fewer exceptions, more automation - all PEPPOL countries (e.g., Germany, France, Scandinavia, Benelux) "understand" documents sent via this route.

Peace of mind for CFOs and accountants - because documents are sent through a trusted, controlled channel that complies with EU regulations.

Expert opinion
Digitization is no longer about choice - it's about speed and scale. And a well-chosen technology can turn an obstacle into an advantage. That's why it's important to think globally from the start. Even if you're currently operating in just one market, things can change quickly. Regulations evolve, markets open up - and being well prepared at the start avoids chaos and costly adjustments in the future.
