Legislation
There is currently no legislation on eInvoicing in place in the Slovak Republic. However, a political communication about the use of eInvoicing and eInvoicing legislation transposing Directive 2014/55/EC is under preparation.
On 24 September 2014, the Government of the Slovak Republic adopted the Government Decree No 484, which nominated the relevant central government authorities and public authorities to transpose various EU directives.
Regarding eInvoicing, the Decree determined that the Ministry of Finance and the Office for Public Procurement are the responsible bodies for the transposition and implementation of Directive 2014/55/EC and are currently in the preparatory phase to transpose the Directive.
eInvoicing platform and eInvoicing management solutions
There is no eInvoicing platform available in the Slovak Republic for B2G eInvoicing in public procurement. The Ministry of Finance is preparing for the implementation of an IT solution for eInvoicing.
Approach for receiving and processing eInvoices
Generally, public contracting authorities are not using eInvoicing; invoices are processed manually. The Slovak government does not mandate or recommend any specific eInvoicing management solution or a particular eInvoicing service provider.
Status on the implementation of the European Standard on eInvoicing (EN)
The implementation of the EN is currently in the preparation phase and it is expected that there will be extensions to the EN.
Additional information
