Intrastat in Croatia
Intrastat is a mechanism for collecting information and creating statistics on the movement of commodities between member states of the European Union’s internal market (EU).
| Type of Intrastat: | Standard Return |
| Arrivals | HRK 2.500.000 |
| Dispatches | HRK 1.300.000 |
Intrastat must be reported if the company’s annual turnover exceeds the above thresholds. It must be sent to the authorities within ten working days of the reporting month’s conclusion. In the absence of a receipt invoice, the goods declaration is postponed to the following month. If no invoice is received a month later, the system uses the purchase order to value the goods and report the movement.
