Does this apply to me?

Three questions. The fixed-establishment rule is where most foreign businesses get it wrong.

Is your business established in Slovakia (registered office, branch or fixed establishment)?

Do you issue domestic B2B invoices in Slovakia?

Slovakia: likely outside the issuing mandate — watch e-reporting / cross-border

VAT registration or trading alone, without a fixed establishment, usually keeps you outside Slovakia's issuing obligation — but you may still face e-reporting or need to receive structured e-invoices. Confirm your establishment status.

Not in scope for Slovakia

With no establishment and no registration or trade in Slovakia, the mandate doesn't apply to you today. Revisit this if you open a branch, warehouse or start supplying into Slovakia.

In scope — issue structured e-invoices in Slovakia

As an established business issuing domestic B2B invoices, you must send them as compliant structured e-invoices. The mandate applies from 1 January 2027. Set up your platform/format and test before you rely on it.

In scope to receive in Slovakia

Even if you don't issue domestic B2B invoices, an established business must be able to receive structured e-invoices. The mandate applies from 1 January 2027. Confirm your receiving capability first.
