At the beginning of 2024, the Croatian fiscalization system underwent an upgrade. The scope of fiscalization has been broadened to encompass tips received by the employees.
However, not all entrepreneurs or fiscalization obligees are required to adopt this updated system. The mandate to transition to the enhanced fiscalization system is specifically directed at those who report tips alongside their fiscalized receipts.
We've worked out the details below.

Entrepreneurs who operate within sectors where tipping is customary and report these gratuities must ensure their software solutions are capable of real-time data exchange with the Tax Administration. This upgrade is essential for maintaining compliance and accurately reporting financial transactions.
On the other hand, fiscalization debtors who either choose not to accept tips or operate in industries where tipping is not a standard practice are not required to implement the upgraded fiscalization system. It's important to note, however, that any tips received by these businesses will not be recorded in the fiscalization system. Consequently, the special tax treatment typically applied to tips, as per income tax regulations, cannot be extended to these unrecorded gratuities.
