Where the tax authority cannot determine the tax base from the books and records, it MUST estimate it.

What we provideA full census across all accounts, suppliers and product groups. No sampling is used; 100 per cent is the upper limit and cannot be exceeded by any method.

Requirements for counter-evidenceexceeded

Estimation applies, among other cases, where the taxpayer cannot prove the data for taxation by credible documentation.

CitationOpći porezni zakon — Procjena porezne osnovice, Abs. 2 Nr. 3
