Slovakia\u2019s parliament has rejected a draft amendment to the Value-Added Tax (VAT) Act that proposed raising the mandatory VAT registration thresholds for resident businesses to \u20ac83,000. This decision leaves the current turnover limits unchanged for small and medium-sized enterprises. Had this bill passed, these changes would have taken effect on 1st July 2026.<\/p>\n
The Current VAT Threshold Rules: – The \u20ac50,000 Threshold: If your taxable turnover exceeds \u20ac50,000 in a calendar year, you are legally obligated to register for VAT, taking effect on 1st January of the following year.<\/p>\n – The \u20ac62,500 Threshold: If your turnover exceeds \u20ac62,500 within the current calendar year, you must register for VAT immediately. Once this threshold is surpassed, you only have a 5-day window to apply for VAT registration with the tax authorities.<\/p>\n What This Means for Entrepreneurs Entrepreneurs must continue to strictly monitor their monthly and annual turnover, as failing to register within the legal limits upon crossing the threshold can lead to significant financial penalties.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Slovakia\u2019s parliament has rejected a draft amendment to the Value-Added Tax (VAT) Act that proposed raising the mandatory VAT registration thresholds for resident businesses to \u20ac83,000.

\n<\/strong>Because parliament have rejected the proposed changes, small businesses and sole proprietors in Slovakia must continue to operate under the current VAT registration constraints:<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>For the second time recently, parliament has rejected attempts to drastically ease VAT compliance for smaller enterprises. The proposal to increase the threshold to \u20ac75,000 had previously been rejected in April 2025. This means that small and growing companies whose turnover is hovering just above the \u20ac50,000 or \u20ac62,500 mark will not receive the expected relief from increased threshold.<\/p>\n
