Changes on the side of the debtor

Posted by Vaic
in Contract law

In the context of legal relationships, changing the subject of the obligation on the part of the debtor can be done in several ways. The obligation of a debtor under a contract can be transferred to a third party – by assuming debt, accessing debt, or assuming fulfillment. Debt assignment and assumption agreement By assuming debt, the acquirer takes the place of the previous debtor, and the latter is released from his obligations. The debt is assumed by a contract between the debtor and the acquierer, if the creditor has agreed to it. So, although the parties to the debt assumption contract...

Tax-deductible expenses in a Croatian d. o. o.

Posted by Vaic
in Commercial law, Tax law

Limited liability companies are subject to corporate income tax. The difference between the increased or reduced revenue and expenditure according to the provisions of The Corporate Income Tax Law is used as the basis for tax assessment. There are several ways to reduce the tax basis. One of the best ways to do this and at the same time reward company employees is through tax-free payments to employees. Such payments increase the cost to the company, resulting in less tax being paid. The employer has a wide range of tax-free payments available to pay out to the employee. They are as follows: -...

Posted by Vaic
in Commercial law

The procedure of calculating and dividing the assets of a company in which the reasons for termination have appeared is called liquidation, and it is carried out if the members do not agree on a different method of calculation and division or if the company is not declared bankrupt. It is carried out by all members of the company as liquidators, if the decision of the members or the memorandum does not stipulate that it should be carried out by individual members of the company or other persons. Liquidators must complete the current operations, collect the company's claims, monetize the remaining assets,...

A simple limited liability company (j. d. o. o. )

Posted by Vaic
in Commercial law

Establishment of a simple limited liability company (j.d.o.o.) is a procedure by which a legal entity is established that enables owners to operate under the protection of limited liability. This type of company is often a preferred option for small and medium-sized enterprises, as it provides some certainty and flexibility in the conduct of business. The business of a simple d.o.o. can be started with the lowest amount of share capital of EUR 1,00 paid in full in cash, and the lowest amount of business stake is also EUR 1,00. A simple limited liability company is established using pre-prepared forms and...

A limited liability company (d.o.o.)

Posted by Vaic
in Commercial law

Limited liability company is the most common form of company in the Republic of Croatia. It is defined by Article 385 of the Law on companies as a company in which one or more legal or natural persons contribute to the pre-agreed share capital. The minimum amount of the share capital of a limited liability company is 2,500.00 EUR. Establishing a limited liability company makes sense for several reasons. One of them is certainly tax. Thus, the d.o.o. that generated revenue up to 995,421.06 EUR pays the tax at the rate of 10%, while the d.o.o. that generated revenue above 995,421.06 EUR...

The insolvency proceedings (bankruptcy) in general shall be initiated by the debtor or creditor’s proposal.
