Link Global Management can provide a full range of payroll services in Croatia. The individual will be engaged on our payroll and income is paid in the form of salary, allowances and expenses, the proportion of each part depending on individual circumstances.
Salary, Tax & Social Security
Link Global Management deducts tax and social security at source on a PAYE basis, and payments are made to the relevant authorities on the employee's behalf. The taxable amount may be reduced by offsetting certain business expenses. There are different tax rates and bands according to earnings level and marital/family status.
Link Global Management will discuss your personal circumstances with you and help you to minimise your tax and social security liabilities, within the boundaries of Croatian legislation.
Tax Returns
Income is managed tax efficiently, not just in Croatia but also in any other country where there may be a liability. A tax return is filed each year in Croatia with advice and assistance from Link Global Management who will also provide help with filing tax returns elsewhere, if required.
Income tax in Croatia
A resident taxpayer is an individual who has a permanent or temporary place of residence in Croatia. A non-resident taxpayer is an individual who does not have a permanent or temporary place of residence in Croatia, but derives Croatian-source income that is subject to tax in Croatia
An individual is considered to have a place of permanent residency if he or she owns a place of abode or has one at his or her disposal for an uninterrupted period of 183 days. An individual does not need to stay in the place of abode to meet the 183-day threshold. If an individual stays in Croatia for at least 183 days, he or she is considered to have a temporary place of residence in Croatia. In both cases, the 183-day period may span more than one calendar year.
Residents are subject to income tax in Croatia on their worldwide income. Non-residents are subject to income tax on their Croatian-source income only.
Non-residents are subject to tax on the same types of income as residents. However, they are taxed only on income sourced in Croatia
