A car from the EU on a finance or operating lease for your company. You sign the lease with the leasing company, and we help with advice, handle the seller and the entire import - turnkey.
In short
A company can finance a car from the EU with a business lease through a leasing company in Croatia. The company arranges the lease directly with the leasing company, and we help with advice and can recommend leasing companies. We also check the car and the dealership, prepare the calculation, align the purchase abroad with the leasing terms and arrange transport, PPMV and paperwork.
Who the service is for
- For companies and sole traders that finance vehicles with leasing.
- For management company cars and fleet vehicles.
- For companies that want a wider choice than the local market.
How business leasing of a car from the EU works
For cars from abroad, it is essential that the purchase, the documents and the import comply with the leasing company's terms.
You sign the lease directly with the leasing company, and we help you: we advise, recommend leasing companies if you wish, check the car and the dealership, provide the vehicle data the leasing company needs, align the contract and payment with the leasing terms and arrange transport, homologation and PPMV.
Finance or operating lease
With a finance lease, the car becomes the company's property after it is paid off. An operating lease is a long-term rental with a residual value at the end of the contract. Which is better depends on the company's business and accounting - you can get terms for both in the offer.
VAT with business leasing
Croatian VAT (25%) is charged on the net price of a car in the VAT system. The company's right to deduct input VAT is 50% for passenger cars and 100% for commercial vehicles. We recommend aligning the tax treatment of the lease instalments with your accountant.
How to recognise a car with VAT in a listing
For business leasing and input VAT deduction it matters whether the car is in the VAT system. You can recognise it in a listing like this:
- Mobile.de: the net price and the VAT rate (e.g. 19%) are shown below the price.
- AutoScout24: a small number 1 next to the price of a car with deductible VAT (a footnote saying VAT is shown).
- On Mobile.de and AutoScout24 you can use the filters to show only cars with deductible VAT.
- The German labels "MwSt. ausweisbar" or "USt. ausweisbar" mean the car is in the VAT system.
- "Differenzbesteuert" or "MwSt. nicht ausweisbar" means margin taxation - VAT is not shown and cannot be deducted.

Who arranges the business lease - the company or you?
The company arranges the lease directly with the leasing company. We help with advice, recommend leasing companies if you wish and align the purchase of the car with the leasing terms.
What is better for a company - a finance or an operating lease?
It depends on the business: with a finance lease the car becomes the company's property, while an operating lease is a rental with a residual value. We recommend deciding together with your accountant.
Can VAT be deducted with a business car lease?
Yes: the right to deduct input VAT is 50% for passenger cars and 100% for commercial vehicles. Confirm the final treatment with your accountant.
How do I calculate a business lease instalment?
You can calculate an estimated monthly or yearly instalment in our leasing calculator. The actual terms are set by the leasing company based on its assessment of the company's creditworthiness.
Do you only work with customers from Međimurje?

Can I buy a car from the EU on lease?
Yes. Leasing is available to both private buyers and companies. You arrange the lease directly with the leasing company - we help with advice and, if you wish, recommend leasing companies.
With leasing, the purchase of the car abroad must be aligned with the terms of the leasing company. You sign the lease, and we help you: we advise on leasing, recommend leasing companies if you wish, provide the vehicle data the leasing company needs and align the purchase and payment with the leasing terms.
You can calculate an estimated instalment in the leasing calculator. The final terms depend on the leasing company, your creditworthiness, the down payment, the term and the car.
Do you buy cars from private sellers?
No. We work only with verified dealerships - not with private sellers or street resellers.
When buying from a verified dealership there is a clear contract, an invoice and a responsible party that stands behind the car and the documents. This also matters for leasing, as leasing companies usually finance cars bought from registered dealers.
If you have found a car sold by a private person, get in touch - we will suggest a similar car from a verified dealership.
How much is the leasing instalment for a car from the EU?
The instalment depends on the price of the car, the down payment, the term, the interest rate and the residual value. You get an estimate straight away in the leasing calculator.
The calculator gives an estimate. The actual offer comes from the leasing company for the chosen car and your status (private buyer or company) - we are happy to advise you and recommend leasing companies.
Can a company buy a car from the EU through you?
Yes. We arrange purchases in the company name, with payment in full or business leasing.
For a company purchase, the tax treatment depends on the status of the car (new or used), how the seller sells it and your company’s VAT status. We determine this for every car before purchase, and we recommend confirming the final tax assessment with your accountant.
