Croatia joined the EU in 2013 and adopted the euro in 2023. The Croatian VAT number (PDV ID) uses the personal identification number (OIB) as its basis, which is 11 digits long with a check digit at the end.
The Croatia OIB / PDV ID is administered by the national tax authority and validated through the EU VIES system. Before applying any VAT rate or zero-rate exemption to a Croatia business customer, validate their VAT registration number first.
