Even Slovenians who have holiday homes in Croatia face a higher tax

Slovenians are among those who would feel the tax innovations in Croatia. Last but not least, data from the Croatian Tax Administration in 2020 showed that Slovenian citizens bought 9.439 properties since 2013, when Croatia joined the EU. Among them are mostly resorts, apartments and apartments, while Slovenians follow Germans in terms of the number of purchases. This tax is currently something like the fee for the use of construction land (NUSZ) here in Slovenia and in this context it differs from municipality to municipality. Some already have a stricter approach and tax foreign holiday home owners a bit more, but in principle there is no significant difference. It is difficult to predict what the new tax will be, as it varies from place to place, but this increase will definitely be felt, H1 Slovenia reported. The owner of such a property now pays a minimum of 33 and a maximum of 100 euros in annual tax. We remind you that the amount depends on the decision of each municipality, which determines the tax between 0,66 and 1,99 euros per square meter of usable area.

16 percent of workers aged 20 to 64 left Croatia
The departure of people from Central and Eastern Europe to Western Europe has contributed to the fact that many countries now have a labor shortage, so they cannot do without migrants, writes Zagreb's Jutarnji list, stating that 16 percent of workers between the ages of 20 and 64 have left Croatia. The main characteristics of the labor market, economists agree, are low employment, high demand for labor and very high vacancies. Therefore, policymakers have little choice: they can solve the problem with much greater use of technology or by importing workers. "The focus should be on increasing productivity, not employment," says Kopf. As the panel heard, this is possible in a variety of ways, including by employing application translators. The European Central Bank (ECB), for example, currently employs around 200 translators. However, technology cannot solve the needs in labor-intensive service activities, especially in the tourism industry, writes Jutarnji list.
