Croatia legislative reforms for the crafts sector
Overview
The Croatian Parliament has passed amendments to the Crafts Act, which are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027. The new legislation introduces the legal status of a ‘family craft’, allowing household members to assist in business operations without formal employment relationships. It also provides mechanisms for business continuity following the death of a craftsman and allows those of retirement age to continue registered activities without suspending pension payments.
To provide financial relief, the law reduces the chamber contribution from 2% to 1.5% of the basic personal deduction. The amendments also expand apprenticeship opportunities across various types of organizations. While the legislative progress is underway, the Croatian Chamber of Crafts has indicated a desire for further improvements, specifically regarding full pension rights for craftsmen who continue working past retirement age.
