Production Application Certificate at Fina

The Financial Agency has reported that taxpayers subject to fiscalization, to whom the Law on Fiscalization in Cash Transactions applies from January 1, 2013, can request their production application certificate for fiscalization at any Fina branch.

The production application certificate for fiscalization is issued for a period of five years, and the fee for issuance amounts to 300 kuna (excluding VAT) per certificate. Fina notes that all taxpayers subject to fiscalization are required to obtain a production application certificate for the implementation of fiscalization in cash transactions.

The certificate is used in the fiscalization process for electronically signing invoice elements and for identifying the taxpayer during electronic data exchange. The documentation required for issuing the application certificate for fiscalization can be submitted by the taxpayer at any Fina branch or electronically via the RDC Forms online application.

Taxpayers whose authorized representative has a qualified digital certificate from Fina can complete the process of issuing production application certificates for fiscalization entirely electronically, without visiting a Fina branch, as stated in the announcement.

Taxpayers whose authorized representative does not have a qualified digital certificate from Fina can complete part of the procedure necessary for issuing the certificate electronically, which will shorten the time required to submit all necessary documentation at the Fina branch.

The Law on Fiscalization in Cash Transactions, effective from January 1, 2013, is expected to enable the Ministry of Finance to efficiently monitor cash transactions and combat the gray economy.

Fiscalization in cash transactions will be implemented in three phases. From January 1, 2013, fiscalization will cover hospitality providers and medium-sized entrepreneurs, from April 1, traders and freelance professions, and from July 1, all other taxpayers subject to fiscalization.
