I bought a property about 13 years ago through a company as that seemed to be the way it was done back then, I now want to keep the property but get rid of the company as I don’t rent it out at all and don’t want to keep paying a Bookeeper for nothing! Question is , is this possible if so how
Thanks in advance

It is still the way it's done jolichni unless the circumstances as january describes. We are currently trying to change the designation of part of a plot to "dvoriste" from "livada". We'll then try to buy it without a company despite it not being in a building zone. We'll see what happens. www.ruralpropertycroatia.com

Many thanks for the replies So basically if I want to keep the property and use it for just myself and not letting it out i have to keep it as a company , also if I want to sell it I have to sell it as a company, also I am not a Croatian national

In reply to jolichni above. Haven't been on this site for ages so you may have found more info.
We bought a property in 2005 by the Company route. Never rented out so in 2013, because of cost of accountant, etc. decided to buy it from the Company. That was completely straight forward,instructed a solicitor, signed the papers, went to a notary. We had to pay the 5% purchase tax. We then closed the Company down. It took us about a year but that was also down to the fact we were not always in Croatia to push the accountant. Can't remember the actual amount we paid but think it was just over the thousand pound mark, that included newspaper announcements, board of trade fees, accountants cost etc. People often told us to simply make the Company dormant but was advised not to as there was really no such thing and as we had submitted accounts, etc. each year we would most likely be chased. So far, think it was the best thing to have done.

In answer to swordfish " Hope you have got plenty of time ribarric" - It failed. It doesn't matter what the designation of the land is, if it's not fully in a building zone, a foreigner cannot own it in their own name. In answer to sandybear124. If the land owned by your company is fully in a building zone then you didn't need a company to own it, in 2005 you would have needed it. BTW, transfer tax is now 3%. If it's not fully in a building zone and you've managed to buy it from your own company, it may be wise to remove all mention of it here. We've seen others do that but always via a country lawyer who has influence in the local Gruntovnica and Opcina.... if you get my drift. Paul (Ribaric) www.ruralpropertycroatia.com
