How to file a foreign invoice
From receiving the invoice to the file you upload to ePorezna. For sole traders and small companies paying for foreign services.
Steps
-
Forward the invoice to your own address
Every account has its own email address, printed on the main screen. Forward the message and the document appears in the list. An invoice that did not arrive by email can be uploaded under “Učitaj račun” or typed in under “Unesi račun ručno”.
-
Confirm what was read off it
Supplier, date, currency and net amount are read from the document. Open the invoice and check them before the calculation — the reading is an aid to data entry, not a source of truth.
-
Check the calculation
The exchange rate is fetched from the Croatian National Bank for the invoice date, and reverse-charge VAT is worked out for you. The calculation screen shows the net amount, the VAT and the total to be filed.
-
Close the month
The month screen lists every invoice in the period with the totals. An invoice that has entered a generated filing can no longer be removed; a correction goes in an amended return.
What you get
- PDV-S, XML
- For acquisitions and services from other EU member states. Uploaded to ePorezna.
- Obrazac PDV
- A service from a third country is reported here, not in PDV-S. A domestic invoice goes in neither.
Legal basis
Croatian VAT Act — reverse charge on the recipient of the service, and monthly reporting of EU acquisitions.
