It is impossible for you, in Croatia, to control the document sequence 
generated by a legal person in another EU country.

That is a fact.

You are confusing *LEGAL* with desired and preferred.

No, you must account to the relevant legal bodies that you have not done 
anything illegal, that you have accounted for taxes, etc.  The sequence 
is just like a balance sheet, do things add up? is this business/person 
honest?

>Btw, is paying to you online via credit card considered 'paying by cash'

there is EU legislation about non-contact payments but I'm not sure if 
they apply

if I pay you using my credit card it will be recorded on my account as a 
transaction, it will say who I paid the money too.

if the Croatia VAT lady (probably a man but we can dream) wants to check 
she is welcome and you should ask her if she will pay for you to come 
and visit me in London too :)

If you mean me buying something from you in person or vice versa that is 
a different set of legislation.

I don't understand the word "fiscalized" as I don't think it has a clear 
meaning in English.  Sorry.  I can work out the word roots easy enough 
but the meaning is unclear to me.  I am not being rude, I would like to 
know what you mean and I know, you, like many people are generous in 
speaking my first language, but in this case I can understand the 
literal word but not the meaning.

Is anyone else familiar with the actual meaning of the word?
