Slovak business digitalization and logistics updates

Overview

Slovak businesses are preparing for the implementation of mandatory electronic invoicing, scheduled to begin on January 1, 2027. More than 5,000 companies have already started the transition process. Under the new regulations, VAT payers are required to issue, send, and receive electronic invoices for domestic transactions involving other businesses or public administration. While non-VAT payers are not mandated to issue these invoices, they must possess the capability to receive them. Companies may utilize various technical methods, such as integrating the process into existing accounting software or using standalone applications from certified digital delivery service providers.

As the deadline approaches, it has been clarified that traditional PDF invoices will no longer suffice for many B2B transactions. Instead, invoices must be in a structured XML format following European standards to allow for automatic processing by accounting systems. These documents will be exchanged via the Peppol network and certified delivery service providers, referred to as ‘digital postmen’.

Recent updates clarify that the mandate will also extend to the non-profit sector. Starting January 1, 2027, electronic invoicing (eFaktúry) will be mandatory for civic associations, foundations, and non-governmental non-profit organizations (NGOs). These entities must be prepared to receive e-invoices from domestic taxable persons and domestic legal entities that are not VAT payers. While NGOs that are not VAT payers are not required to issue e-invoices, they must ensure they can receive them. Organizations are encouraged to use 2026 for voluntary implementation, which includes verifying DIČ registration and testing access to the Financial Administration portal.
