N° 01Slovak e-invoicing from 1 January 2027: what a small business has to start now, and what is needless panic
The year 2027 sounds like next year's problem. The transition window opened in January 2026, voluntary sign-up has been live since May, and the obligation that catches most owners off guard is not issuing invoices. It is receiving them.
From 1 January 2027 every Slovak VAT payer must issue domestic business and public-sector invoices as structured XML under the EN 16931 standard, delivered through a certified provider. Every business, including non VAT payers, must be able to receive one. The voluntary phase opened in May 2026. Unreported invoice data carries a fine up to 10,000 euro.
