An amendment of the Slovenian VAT Act was recently proposed and if adopted, the amendment shall enter into force on 1 July 2021.
The amendment provides for the expansion of goods to which the super-reduced VAT rate of 5% shall apply. The rate is currently used for books, newspapers, etc. which is the result of a common EU-wide consensus that was enforced with the EU legislation.
In accordance with the proposed amendment, the super-reduced VAT rate would be extended to the supply of medicaments for humans and animals, birth control products, feminine hygiene products (sanitary towels, tampons, etc.), and menstrual cups.
