The public notary just informed me that all d.o.o's need to re-register (or something) in the court before 31st October this year.
You have to take documents proving your address, company registration papers, passport etc and then the notary fills out some forms for the court.
It costs around 2000 kuna and is compulsary! If you don't do it you can be fined 100 000 kuna.
What about companies that were set up to buy property and the owners / directors aren't necessarily here right now?

riki - do you have a complete list of the documents (and fees - its never just a one-off fee) required?
What is the reason - maybe something to do with filtering out the abandoned companies? Or just a money making exercise?

Think you need to check this info out with a few other people, as just talked to my accountant and they said there is not such requirement in the works or required. There is talk in parliament about companies fill in a survey on who is employed, but nothing about re-registering your d.o.o. or 2000 Kuna fee. Maybe the notary meant they will charge you 2000 Kuna to fill in the forms for you? The other point they are talking about is that a company must have an employee, but it can be the owner ( ). Looks like a way to doctor statistics, as after such a law would come into effect the employment figures would sky rocket, plus of course extra income from taxing the employees salary. It's still in the hashing out stages, and no-one knows the final outcome.

The documents for me were: company registration, passport, my OIB number, company OIB number. The money is like 900 kuna for the notary, 450 court fees, 300 for nn notification, etc. I only glanced at one my friend had just done. She is Croatian and has a d.o.o. She also spoke to her bookkeeper who knew nothing about it but was told by the notary that it definately is a requirement. The result of the 'process' was a piece of notarised paper confirming the director and owner of the company with their address and OIB number.

Hi Riki,
The only recent new requirement we know of is one additional paper requiring any "new" company directors/owners to make a declaration of no debt in Croatia.
I have also not seen or heard about this you are talking about, but will check it out tomorrow.

I called with my bookkeeper and she has not heard of this new law either. Tomorrow will check with another bookkeeping office, see if they know something.
But my guess is, that when nobody knows about this 'new law' we can safely conclude it does not exist.

Maybe it's a Sisak thing. Even my bookkeeper had to do it for her company.

"That thing is about the changes in the law for companies, the point is that every owner of d.o.o. has to go to public notary and pay him so that he in owners name informs commercial court about members of the company and owners. The same law is for all companies in Croatia" - from my bookkeeper.

Mentioned this to my accountant last week, she said never heard about it and today told me the news is right but only for companies with more than 1 owner. The deadline is 31/10 and is done at a notary, all as mentioned above. Only, she could not explain the reason behind this. I think notaries will know better about this than accountants, worth asking one of them.

I met with my notary today, I asked them about this and they were very familiar with it. They told me that the registration system, which can be accessed on line, currently only lists the directors. This change is required to add the owners of the company to this list. They said their costs would be 1100kuna plus 150 court fees and 100 narodne novine fees. Has to be done by all companies by 31/10/2010 and they thought the fine was 5,000 kuna.
The more cynical among us might think this was just a money making exercise !!

What if the directors are also the owners? This is very common. What web site shows this info?

Nice how it will cost 1100 kn plus 150 kn court fees and 100 kn narodne novine fees just to add ones names. A ripe old rip-off Croatia. I actually wonder if Croatians can just do it themselves, while they get forigners to go through this lengthy and expesive route? One would think so. Already, when I opened my company it stated me and my wife were both owners and I guess directors (I even loaned my company money to set it up and purchase stuff). This even went through the court when opening it, so someone has their head in their rear. I really wonder who thinks these up and how do they get them through parliment. Whats a notary got to do with me owning my own company? I already have papers that state this from the court.
