Simplifying VAT Registration, Filing, and Compliance for Businesses Operating in Slovakia

Expanding into the Slovakian market? Safari Star makes VAT compliance seamless so you can focus on growing your business. Slovakia, one of Europe’s largest economies, presents lucrative opportunities but its VAT system can be challenging to navigate. Our expert team ensures your business is fully compliant with Slovakian and EU regulations, without the need to establish a physical entity or local branch. This saves time, reduces costs, and eliminates administrative burdens.

With Safari Star, VAT registration in Slovakia is fast, remote, and secure.

Why Register for VAT in Slovakia?

If your business supplies goods or services in Slovakia—even without a physical presence, VAT registration is mandatory. This includes:

  • E-commerce sellers shipping to Slovakian customers
  • Non-EU businesses selling into Slovakia
  • Companies storing goods in Slovakia warehouses or using local fulfillment centers
  • Digital service providers (SaaS, streaming, apps) targeting Slovakia users
  • B2B and B2C service providers delivering taxable services in Slovakia

Failure to register can lead to penalties, shipment delays, and reputational risks. Safari Star helps you avoid these issues by ensuring smooth, compliant operations from day one.

Simplifying VAT Registration, Filling, and Compliance for Business Operating in Slovakia

1

Business Consultation & Structuring

Safari Star provides tailored consultation to align your business operations with Slovak VAT regulations. We manage the complete registration process, and once approved, your business receives a Slovak VAT number (SK + 10 digits), enabling you to invoice correctly, submit returns, and meet all compliance obligations.

Import VAT Reverse Charge

Slovakia allows import VAT to be declared directly in the VAT return rather than paid at customs, applying a reverse charge mechanism that streamlines reporting and improves cash flow. Importers must provide a valid Slovak VAT number in advance, and non-EU businesses are required to appoint a fiscal representative. Safari Star handles the full process to ensure seamless compliance.

Required Documents for VAT Registration

To complete VAT registration in Slovakia, businesses must submit a translated and notarized Certificate of Incorporation, a valid passport copy of the Director, local bank account details for VAT refunds, and a Power of Attorney, mandatory for appointing a fiscal representative if the company is based outside the EU.
