First of all, a legal entity, that is, the owner of his own business, can buy real estate in Croatia. In order to purchase real estate, you will need to register yourself as an entrepreneur.
3 thousand. the euro must be added to the account of the future enterprise as conditional starting capital. Such the first condition of the current legislation in Croatia. This amount may subsequently participate in the payment of the purchased real estate. In addition, the registration of such an enterprise will cost you 1,600 euros that you need to pay a notary public.
140 additional euros will go to the account of the accountant, and 5% of the cost of the transaction – to the country’s budget account as a tax on the acquired real estate. After the acquisition of the real estate object, it must be registered in the registration chamber, and then add to the land cadastre. At the same time, spending on this paperwork accounts for about 0.3% of the price of the purchased real estate.
