For the purposes of this Annex, the term 'property' means:

The Croatian Tax Administration (Porezna uprava) has issued reminders to taxpayers regarding unpaid property taxes based on properly verified tax obligations. In response to media reports suggesting these reminders were unjustified, the administration clarified that they acted upon all received complaints and appeals related to property tax decisions within two months of receipt. Where valid complaints were submitted, the tax authority revoked previously established obligations, thereby exempting certain taxpayers from those obligations. For cases where the initial process did not meet requirements and required further review, these cases will be forwarded to the appropriate body by September 15th. The administration emphasized that filing a complaint does not delay the enforcement of tax decisions, meaning taxpayers remain obligated to pay until the final resolution. They also noted that ongoing collection measures, including issuing reminders, are being carried out regularly, targeting taxpayers who have not appealed or whose appeals have been resolved in their favor.

The Croatian tax authority has issued reminders regarding unpaid property taxes, clarifying that complaints do not delay payment obligations. In response to media reports, the Tax Administration (PU) stated that it had sent out notices based on properly verified and recorded tax liabilities. The agency emphasized that any discrepancies could apply only to individual cases. According to the official statement, all received objections or appeals related to decisions on property taxes were processed within two months of receipt. The Tax Administration explained that for accepted objections or appeals against confirmed tax obligations under property tax rulings, it had canceled the previously established obligations. As a result, taxpayers who had been determined to have no obligation to pay property taxes were freed from these obligations. Some objections or appeals, which did not meet the conditions for acceptance in the initial process or required further review, will be forwarded to the appropriate second-instance body by September 15. These cases will undergo further resolution. The administration clarified that submitting an objection or appeal does not suspend the enforcement of the tax decision. It noted that the tax obligation confirmed by the final ruling remains valid during the duration of the judicial review process. Therefore, there may be instances where taxpayers must settle their obligations before the final resolution of the appeal. If, during subsequent proceedings, it is determined that the tax liability was incorrectly established or should have been lower, adjustments will be made to the tax records, including the refund of overpaid amounts. For outstanding tax obligations, the Tax Administration continues to implement collection measures, including issuing reminders. During August 2026, reminders were sent to taxpayers who had not settled their property tax obligations and had not filed objections or appeals against the tax determination. Additionally, reminders were issued to taxpayers whose objections or appeals had been decided in the second instance and were found to be correctly established. Sending a reminder serves as a routine procedure to alert taxpayers of their pending, unpaid tax obligations and allows them to settle the debt before further enforcement actions are taken. The Tax Administration reiterated that its actions were in compliance with legal procedures and aimed at ensuring transparency and accuracy in the handling of taxpayer disputes. It stressed that all steps followed were consistent with the law and that the process was designed to ensure fairness while maintaining the integrity of the tax system. The agency also highlighted that the issuance of reminders was part of its ongoing efforts to collect overdue taxes efficiently and effectively. Taxpayers who received the reminders are advised to either settle their outstanding obligations promptly or submit formal objections or appeals within the prescribed time frame. Those who choose to challenge the tax assessment will need to follow the procedural guidelines set forth by the Tax Administration. The agency has assured that all such processes will be handled in accordance with legal standards and that any necessary corrections will be made once the appeals are resolved. This approach reflects the administration’s commitment to both enforcing tax laws and providing due process to taxpayers who wish to contest their obligations.
