If its true then hopefully those involved in the tourist business can capitalise on the interest.
Just need to provide a quality service and value for money product as always.

It not easy to provide value for money any more, in fact it gets harder each week
They put the petrol up 1 day and then the next day tell companies they cant claim the pdv for company vehicles,
and Also cant claim the pdv back on petrol bought even though its for company use.
Seems this new gov is just as daft as the last one

Seems this new gov is just as daft as the last one If I had even a whiff that this current government was going to raise PDV I would not for the life of me have voted for them (but then again I didn't actually vote in person seeing I'm not a registered voter). I am sure most Croats would not have voted for them if they knew their financial plans. Just doing my company books and counted the amount of PDV and the extra 20% for profit income taken off my small income and it's scary to see how much of ones money goes to the BS government. They are just inviting black business to flourish. You want to be good moral citizen or resident, you want to pay your way, you want to see your business grow but at the rate this new government is passing laws and taxing us you start to wonder how to claim asylum in Australia. |

Every single government (SDP, HDZ, Labor, whatever) would have done the same, under pressure of rating agencies. Personally I don't see what's the big deal with extra PDV. I'm much, much more alarmed by their apparent lack of real plan and no will to decrease spending by reducing salaries and number of people in public sector. . |

They shouldn't be reducing their salaries but the numbers. There is a huge number of useless political employees in local governments, maybe even disband the counties completely, reduce the number of municipalities and so on. Those who stay should be more motivated to be useful to those who are forced by law to deal with them. That's when I will acknowledge that this country is moving somewhat forward. |

Personally I don't see what's the big deal with extra PDV. . Everything that you buy will now cost a minimum of 2 % more. Thats 2 % less money that you will have. By scrapping companies claiming pdv back on petrol. Thats 25 % more that companies now need to make or will add on to their products in order to make a profit. |

Well, if you pay PDV and issue R1 with PDV, then by the end of the year that small 2% adds up big time. |

the next day tell companies they cant claim the pdv for company vehicles, and Also cant claim the pdv back on petrol bought even though its for company use. Can you give me a link to something official on this ? My wife doesn't believe it can be true. |

Everything that you buy will now cost a minimum of 2 % more. Thats 2 % less money that you will have. Nope, that's 1.62% more expenses on goods and services, on which we spend around 60% of our income. Generally it translates to 1% lower income and that is not much. We will lose much more on higher income taxes (2-2.5%), while harshest tax we had was HDZ "harač", which cost us 4% of income. There also exists another inflation pressure, both on goods/services and on loan payments - that's Kuna devaluation. It is currently devalued by around 2-3%... By scrapping companies claiming pdv back on petrol. Thats 25 % more that companies now need to make or will add on to their products in order to make a profit. Haven't heard of that one. If that were true, there would have been huge uproar among many companies which spend lots of petrol. . |

Sorry to say . but it is true.
I have no direct link.
I spoke with my accountant about it yesterday and suggest that you do the same.
As from march the 1st it will be implemented.
You will no longer be able to claim the pdv back for company vehicles. For petrol, diesel, and all other company vehicle running costs
You will also NOT be able to claim the pdv back on company vehicles bought for and through the company.
As far as i know, if you are a specific vehicle user such as a taxi driver or delivery firm, then you can still claim. The criteria is very strict.

As far as i know, if you are a specific vehicle user such as a taxi driver or delivery firm, then you can still claim. The criteria is very strict. There is a reason for it really, as it has been a major loop hole for years, people buying all their family members a car through their companies to lower taxes and use it to make expences. I mean, you can buy all your computers, furniture and more using this loop hole, especually if you work from home. What this will do in effect (if I understand it right) will make it so companies have more money in their accounts and have to pay more taxes. Will take a bit out of the car business, with less new looking cars on the road (unless money is not a problem for you). |

There is another thread discussing this precise topic, but this link explains the essence of the tax changes in English; www.kpmg.com/HR/en/IssuesAndInsights/ArticlesPublications/Newsflash/Pages/AL-12-01.aspx

No mention of not being able to claim back pdv from fuel costs in that link.
Here's a fun game.
Everyone ask their accountant about this and let's see how many different answers we get ! ;D

Well I spoke to a friend who works in an accountancy firm, and he's not heard of this change to claiming PDV for fuel for work vehicle.
He is aware of the change of claiming of PDV from purchase of work vehicle though.
Surprised nobody else has come back with a response on this one. Seems like it would be a fairly significant change financially.
