This article explains the specific case of taxing client payments if they are sent via a broker that is working in the name and the account of supplier. In other words this is a case where charter operator is invoicing the end client and receiving the payment from the broker.
Usually broker/agency is forwarding the payment reduced by the amount of their commission, and at the end of the booking process the incoming invoice for agency commission balances the difference.
In this case the tax authority expects that the charter operator has to invoice the full amount of client payment regardless of the amount of money received. In practice this means that the amount paid by the agency will be increased by the commission
Pursuant to the decision of the Euopean court of justice C-189/11 from 26.9.2013. the rules of the taxation were simplified and Croatian Tax authority has issued a detailed memo about correct practices in taxing travel agencies.
