Online petition against sojourn tax

The Croatian government has substantially increased the amount of sojourn tax for owners and users of boats via a regulation that defines the sojourn tax for 2018, which comes into power on January 1st of 2018. According to the mentioned regulation, the sojourn tax for boats (determined by the length of the boat) will substantially increase – from 58% for smaller boats, up to 752% in some cases concerning boats longer than 20m in length.

The Croatian online portal Nautica Portal has started an online petition against this. You can sign this petition under this url:
