Slovakia proposes a grace period for the upcoming e-invoicing obligation

  • A draft amendment to the VAT Act 222/2004 Coll. has been submitted by the Ministry of Finance for review, proposing changes related to new EU rules and open for comments until June 16, 2026.
  • Key proposed changes include deferring the reporting obligation for purchase invoices from January 1, 2027, to July 1, 2030, and introducing a three-month grace period from January 1, 2027, to March 31, 2027, during which no penalties will be imposed.
  • Despite the deferral and grace period, domestic sellers within scope will still be required to issue e-invoices and report data to the Financial Directorate from January 2027, and all in-scope buyers will be mandated to receive e-invoices.
