Slovak Parliament Rejects Proposal to Raise VAT Registration Threshold to €83,000

Slovakia rejected a proposal to raise the VAT registration threshold from €50,000 to €83,000, so current VAT registration rules remain unchanged. Small businesses will therefore continue to follow the existing thresholds and obligations.

The Slovak Parliament rejected proposed legislation on 7 May 2026 that would have increased the VAT registration threshold from €50,000 to €83,000 from 1 July 2026. As a result, the current VAT registration rules remain unchanged.

The proposal aimed to reduce the administrative burden on small businesses by allowing those with annual turnover below €83,000 to avoid VAT registration. It would also have replaced the €62,500 immediate registration threshold with the same higher limit.

The rejected bill also included a deregistration option for existing VAT payers whose turnover stayed below €83,000 for 12 consecutive months. Since the proposal failed, small businesses must continue to follow the existing VAT thresholds and registration obligations.
