The Croatian model combines exchange via information intermediaries with fiscalisation-style reporting to the tax administration; EN 16931 formats and Peppol-based providers are part of the accepted delivery landscape.
Penalties
Fiskalizacija 2.0 foresees fines for issuing or failing to fiscalise invoices outside the system, scaled by severity and repetition.
