Constitución de una empresa en Croacia

Importante: el derecho de un no residente a ser titular de la empresa no concede automáticamente el derecho a vivir, trabajar o dirigirla desde ese país. La inmigración, el permiso de trabajo, la sustancia, la dirección efectiva y la residencia fiscal se evalúan por separado.

Resumen general, no asesoramiento fiscal o jurídico personalizado. Las normas se vuelven a comprobar antes de la presentación.

• —START may technically coordinate a bank step, but the bank independently accepts or declines the UBO/business profile.
• —Non-EU ownership, tourism/trade cash flows and cross-border counterparties may trigger enhanced KYB.

• —Annual financial statements and statistical/FINA filings under size/applicable rules.
• —Corporate tax, VAT/payroll filings and ongoing bookkeeping.
• —Court Register/beneficial-owner updates following changes to the address, directors, members or control.

• —A j.d.o.o.'s reserve and structural restrictions mean the form is not always cheaper or simpler over the long term.
• —EU e-Court eligibility must not be extended to a non-EU applicant without notary-route verification.
• —Incorporation does not disapply UBO disclosure, AML/KYC or sanctions screening by the registrar, notary, provider, tax authority or financial institution.
• —The place of incorporation does not automatically determine tax residence: effective management, permanent establishment, CFC rules and the owners' personal residence require separate analysis.
• —Registration does not grant a licence, residence or work rights and does not guarantee a bank or EMI account.

• —Coordination of OIB, e-Court/START or the Croatian notary, office, capital, Court Register and accountant hand-off.
• —Comparison of entity forms, ownership structure, governance, tax links and substance requirements before filing.
• —Coordination of the address, notary, lawyer or authorised representative, translations, apostille and the corporate pack.
