E-invoicing in Slovakia: mandate, e-reporting, Peppol
From 1 January 2027 Slovakia requires structured B2B e-invoicing for domestic transactions, together with near real-time e-reporting to the Financial Administration. The basis is an amendment to the VAT Act passed by the National Council on 9 December 2025. The format follows EN 16931, and exchange runs through certified Peppol Access Points.
Domestic B2B mandate from 1.1.2027: structured e-invoicing plus e-reporting to the Financial Administration, reported no later than 15 days after issue or receipt. Format: EN 16931 in UBL 2.1 or CII through certified Peppol Access Points. A PDF by email no longer counts. Intra-Community from 1.7.2030 (ViDA). Vera produces the EN 16931 file; sending through an Access Point and reporting are separate.
When does e-invoicing become mandatory in Slovakia?
The governing text is an amendment to Slovakia's VAT Act No. 222/2004, passed by the National Council on 9 December 2025. It introduces two obligations for domestic B2B transactions: structured e-invoicing and e-reporting to the Financial Administration.
| Date | Obligation | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Jan 2027 | E-invoicing plus e-reporting | domestic B2B transactions |
| 1 Jul 2030 | E-invoicing plus e-reporting | intra-Community B2B transactions (ViDA) |
Format, Peppol and e-reporting
Invoices must follow EN 16931 in UBL 2.1 or CII and be exchanged through certified Peppol Access Points. A simple PDF by email will no longer count as a valid invoice. For e-reporting, both issued and received invoices must be reported to the Financial Administration no later than 15 days after issue or receipt.
