1. Sojourn tax lump sum has been reduced for boaters for 20% in 2020
2. According to this Regulation, boaters who paid the sojourn tax lump sum in 2019 for the period ending in 2020 are not required to pay the sojourn tax for the period that falls into 2020
3. If the period for which boaters paid the sojourn tax lump sum coincides with the period of COVID-19 Pandemic in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, the boaters can request either a pro-rata refund of the amount related to tourist tax they have paid for the period during which the declaration of the COVID-19 epidemic in the territory of the Republic of Croatia was in force, or they can request a proportionate extension of the time period for which the tourist tax has been paid. All requests for a refund or for the extension of the time period shall be submitted to the Croatian National Tourist Board.

The Croatian National Tourist Board has launched a multilingual portal nautika.evisitor.hr which enables nautical visitors to pay their tourist tax online. The portal represents an additional way of paying nautical tourist tax, which until now was only paid only in port offices and branches.

Apart from the Croatian language, the portal is also available in English, German and Italian, and guides the user through the process of registering and paying the tourist tax in a simple and clear way. Also, the portal supports payments via all of the world’s most used card brands, and after the tourist tax is paid, the boater will receive a confirmation to their e-mail address, which they must keep during their entire stay on board.

We remind you that in accordance with the Tourist Tax Act, boaters can pay the tourist tax according to the length of the vessel, and from the year 2020 according to the number of persons, or the number of nights, whichever is more favourable for them, which is usually the case during a short stay in the destination.
