Croatia unveils excess-profit tax and higher short-term rental levies to fight inflation

Friday, 29 May 2026, 06:44 · 1 min read

Croatia's Finance Minister Tomislav Ćorić has announced a package of anti-inflation measures that includes a 50% tax on corporate profits exceeding a company's three-year average by more than 15%, targeting large and medium-sized firms. The government also plans to raise flat-rate taxes on private short-term accommodation providers — a sector with around 130,000 operators — drawing sharp criticism from landlord groups who say they already faced steep tax hikes last year. The measures come as Croatia, which has one of the EU's highest inflation rates at 5.4% in April, seeks to curb further price growth amid global energy price shocks and geopolitical tensions.
