The goal of e-invoicing is to implement a unified and fully electronic process from invoice issuance to receipt and processing in the country.
The Slovak Republic’s financial administration announced on 7 November 2025 that it has taken a significant step toward modernising its invoice processing by launching an international public procurement for a service provider to deliver a key component of the new e-Invoicing system.
The initiative aims to create a fully electronic, standardised process for issuing, receiving, and processing invoices. The system will operate within the Peppol network, a widely used European Union standard for the secure exchange of electronic invoices and other business documents.
Major accounting and software providers in the Slovak Republic, covering over 85% of the market, are already preparing their systems for the “Peppol Ready” phase, ensuring technical readiness for secure invoice exchange in the unified format.
The Financial Administration is also consulting with large companies and institutions to support smooth implementation.
E-Invoicing is expected to offer multiple benefits for businesses, including:
- Faster, automated invoice processing
- Greater reliability with fewer errors
- Cost savings of up to 80% for medium and large enterprises
- Easy access to all invoices and attachments in one place
- Improved cash flow through faster payments
- Environmental benefits and reduced logistics costs
The tender for the Service Metadata Publisher (SMP), the central component of the system, is open until 24 November 2025.
Earlier, the Slovak Republic’s government submitted the amended Value Added Tax (VAT) Act to Parliament on 26 September 2025, aiming to introduce mandatory electronic invoicing and online data reporting to tax authorities.
