Does moving from Czechia automatically settle tax residence?
Prepare a timeline of residence, work, income and family ties and seek cross-border advice. A Croatian OIB, address or employment contract alone should not be treated as a complete tax-residence decision.

Which payroll documents should I keep?
Retain the contract, payslips, paid-hour records, bank receipts, contributions, deductions and official correspondence. Ask for clear explanations of unfamiliar charges and use private channels for identifying records.

What is an OIB?
It is Croatia’s personal identification marker used in official registers and transactions. Keep the number private. It does not replace identity, residence or work-permission checks.

How should a new worker arrange healthcare cover?
Check HZZO registration and the applicable employment and residence basis. EU coordination or treaty arrangements may change the assessment. Do not assume a foreign card or travel policy completes Croatian employee cover
