• There are three main VAT registration regimes in Slovakia: § 4 (full VAT payer), § 7 (acquisition of goods from the EU), and § 7a (cross-border services within the EU).
• § 4 registration grants full VAT payer status, including the right to deduct VAT; § 7 and § 7a only fulfill international obligations and do not grant deduction rights.
• § 7 registration is required when acquiring goods from other EU states exceeding €14,000 per year, with self-assessment of VAT but no deduction right.
• § 7a registration is for providing or receiving cross-border services within the EU, with self-assessment and summary reporting obligations, but no right to deduct VAT.
• The main differences between the regimes are in the scope of rights, obligations, and applicable financial limits.
