What is changing

Domestic companies, state institutions and entrepreneurs, including those who do not pay VAT, will have to accept invoices in electronic form from 1 January 2027 (Viac ako milión daňovníkov dostáva dôležitú správu | tnlive.sk – tnlive.sk) (Daňovníci pozor: Pripravte sa na novinku, ktorá začne platiť 1. januára – Aktuality.sk). The Slovak Finančná správa is currently sending more than one million taxpayers information about the upcoming changes and a request to choose a digitálny poštár.

What a digitálny poštár is

It is a certified intermediary that ensures the secure sending and receiving of electronic invoices. Each taxpayer chooses one independently from a list of certified providers.

How to choose and what to do

First, check whether the accounting software used in the company works with a given provider, and review the offers on the portal info-efaktura.sk. The choice is made by the entrepreneur or an authorised person, from among the certified providers.

Why not delay

The President of the Finančná správa, Jozef Kiss, has announced that the authority continues to provide firms with informational and substantive support so that the transition to the new system goes smoothly. The Finančná správa advises against waiting for the December peak of applications. In the last week alone, the service was activated by 10,000 new entities. Aktuality.sk warns that delay may end in chaos, which is why companies should check their mailboxes on the Finančná správa portal now.
