Electronic data exchange with other systems is carried out through the portal e-Case and basic information on court cases is publicly accessible via e-Bulletin Board. 

Fiscalization

Being one of the measures for suppression of grey economy and unfair competition, fiscalization was introduced in many countries, according to different models and IT solutions and with different experiences.

Croatian solution is based on the first online fiscalization system. Fiscalization of cash transactions is a set of measures implemented by fiscalization subjects in order to allow efficient oversight of realized cash turnovers.

Croatian solution is an open solution that enables online working mode without time delays. This has reduced possibility of tampering with receipts because every receipt is delivered to the Tax Administration in real time. Digital certificates are used to ensure authentication of user and protection of data. Unique Receipt ID number issued by the Tax Administration guarantees that the receipt is valid and enables citizens to check its authenticity.
 

e-Construction Permit

This information system is used for issuing construction or building permits in all Croatian counties and cities. 
 
The main goal of this centralized system is to raise the quality of administrative and non-administrative procedures by simplifying and speeding up the procedure.
 

 

Open Data Portal

data.gov.hr is a data hub used for collection, classification and distribution of open data produced by public sector. This data can be used to create added value or economic benefits in commercial and/or non-commercial purposes.

Examples of open data sets are:

• geolocation data,
• traffic data,
• meteorological data...

Project aims to improve the dissemination of public open data through a unique and central place and enable implementation of innovative non-commercial and commercial applications. The goal is to intensify cooperation with the private sector, particularly in the field of information technology and to originate improvement of electronic public services as well as increase of transparency of public administration.

e-Class Register 

The e-Class Register is a web application for the management of the class registry in an electronic format. The application fully replaces the paper documentation with additional functionalities enabled through the use of IT.

The result is a transparent, easy and quick online enrollment in the desired school without unnecessary administrative work, both for parents, students and the school.
