\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]A tabular statement is where the seller declares that they have received the full amount of the agreed purchase price from the buyer, thereby allowing the land registry transfer of ownership rights for the property subject to the sales contract.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tHow much is the real estate transfer tax?\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n<\/h6>
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]In the Republic of Croatia, the real estate transfer tax is 3%, and the tax liability lies with the acquirer of the property (the buyer).[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
