  • expand the list of goods eligible for the 5% reduced VAT rate to include additional food and hygiene items.
  • reducing the standard VAT rate from 23% to 20%,
  • raising the turnover thresholds for mandatory VAT registration for businesses in Slovakia from EUR 50,000 and EUR 62,500 to EUR 75,000.
