Adding Croatia VAT
€100.00 before VAT is €125.00 including 25% VAT. To take 25% VAT out of a price, divide it by 1.25. The VAT fraction is 1/5.
That is 5 percentage points higher than the UK standard rate of 20%.
Selling to Croatia from the UK
Goods you export from Great Britain to a business in Croatia are zero rated for UK VAT. Your customer pays 25% import VAT when the goods arrive, unless you agree to sell delivered duty paid. For goods sent to consumers in parcels worth up to €150, you can collect Croatia VAT at the checkout through the EU's Import One Stop Shop (IOSS), and since 1 July 2026 a flat €3 customs duty applies per item.
Services you sell to Croatia businesses are usually outside the scope of UK VAT, and your customer accounts for 25% VAT under the reverse charge. Digital services sold to consumers in Croatia carry Croatia VAT from the first euro, normally declared through the non-Union OSS. The EU VAT guide for UK businesses covers each case.
