Highest Income Tax Bracket
Omiš set 21% and 31% from 1 March 2025. A December 2025 compilation lists the same rates for payments from 1 January 2026. The bands are up to €60,000 and above €60,000. A town may set the higher rate only up to 31%. 11 12 13

Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
Qualifying foreign employment or self-employment of a digital-nomad temporary-stay holder is exempt from Croatian income tax while the stay is valid, up to 18 months, under Income Tax Act art. 9(1)(26) as recorded in the country tax profile.
