Tax
How is Digital Nomad Permit income taxed?
Foreign-source income earned from remote work is exempt from Croatian personal income tax for the duration of the digital nomad permit. This is a statutory exemption tied to the digital nomad status, not a special reduced-rate relocation regime. The exemption covers active remote work income; passive income (capital gains, rents, dividends, pensions) and any Croatian-source income are not covered. Time on this permit does not count toward Croatian tax residency automatically, but living more than 183 days or forming a centre of vital interests can trigger residency, which requires case-by-case analysis. Family members do not automatically receive the same exemption.
Money, roughly (sourced)
Regime: Digital nomad status, foreign work income tax-exempt (Art. 9(1)(26) PITA), about 0% effective tax on €60k/yr.
DNV exemption is for foreign work income only and is tied to holding the permit (max 18 months, non-renewable); passive income, Croatian-source income, and full tax-resident worldwide liability fall outside it. The exemption does not require avoiding residency, but the 18-month cap effectively limits exposure.
Capital gains: 12%. Headline individual CG rate on disposal of financial assets is 12% (a local surtax/prirez component can apply via city). Gains are exempt if the asset is held more than 2 years from acquisition, or for assets acquired before 1 Jan 2016. CG is not subject to social security.
Living comfortably to well in Split runs about €1,500–€2,100/mo for one person, incl. rent.
