Starting from 2027, electronic invoicing will also become compulsory for non‑governmental organisations such as associations, foundations and other non‑profit entities. To ease the transition, the Slovak Financial Administration has introduced an automatic VAT identification number assignment for approximately 58,000 such organisations, eliminating the need for manual applications to tax offices. This automation aims to reduce bureaucratic workload, accelerate the registration process, and ensure that a larger segment of the civil‑society sector can comply with upcoming EU regulations on electronic invoicing. The administration explained that the automated system pulls data from existing national registers, verifies eligibility, and assigns VAT numbers within a short timeframe. Once an organisation receives its VAT number, it can immediately start using approved digital post‑office services for invoice exchange. The move is part of a broader strategy to extend the reach of electronic invoicing across all sectors, improve tax transparency, and combat fraud. Stakeholders are invited to consult the administration’s online portal for guidance, tutorials, and support resources to ensure a smooth adoption of the new requirements.
