At present, foreign businesses have to apply for a VAT registration if they are picked up or dispatch goods on a B2B basis through Slovak Republic or if they make sales from Slovakia where the place of taxation is the country of arrival. This obligation will be withdrawn from January 1, 2018. From January 1, 2018, non-resident Slovakian businesses may escape the obligation to VAT register in case of intra-community transactions.
