VAT registration in Slovakia for your online store
VAT registration in Slovakia, returns filed in Slovakia and reconciliation with your accounts in Spain. Fiscal representative, EORI and EPR when needed.
In short
To sell from stock in Slovakia you need a VAT number in Slovakia and you must file your returns there. The service includes registration and tax compliance in Slovakia: periodic returns, EC sales lists, Intrastat and whatever its authority requires.
Standard VAT rate in Slovakia: 23% (reduced: 19% and 5%). Slovakia raised its rates in 2025 and requires a control statement with every return: the invoice detail has to reconcile with what is declared.
When you need a VAT number in Slovakia
If you are in any of these situations, you need to register before the first sale:
- You hold goods in Slovakia: your own warehouse, a logistics provider or Amazon FBA, and sell from there to customers in that country.
- You buy in Slovakia and resell within the country, without the goods leaving.
- You import from outside the EU with customs clearance in Slovakia in your own name.
- You prefer not to use OSS for distance sales and to file in each country (unusual, but possible).
- You sell to businesses in that country with local delivery from your stock there.

Frequently asked questions
When do I need a Slovak VAT number?
If you hold goods in Slovakia, for example in Amazon's Central European warehouses, and sell from there.
Can I declare sales from my stock in Slovakia through OSS?
Not if the customer is in that same country: it is a domestic sale and is declared there with the local VAT number.
I've been selling in Slovakia for a while without a VAT number. What do I do?
Regularise it as soon as possible: the registration, the late returns and the replies to tax demands are filed. The longer you wait, the higher the surcharges; and marketplaces end up pulling your stock.
Do you also keep the accounts in Spain?
Yes. Your store's accounting and taxes in Spain and the tax compliance in Slovakia go through the same point of contact, so what is declared in both countries reconciles.
