- Slovakia introduced a deferred import VAT scheme on 1 July 2025 for resident businesses registered for VAT.
- The scheme is currently only for resident businesses, with plans to include non-resident VAT-registered importers from 1 January 2026.
- Businesses must apply to the Slovak tax authorities for authorisation to use the scheme.
- Approved businesses will defer import VAT and account for it on their VAT returns instead of paying it when goods are cleared.
