- Slovak Financial Directorate issued guidelines for late VAT registration for domestic taxable persons.
- Guidelines target those who exceeded the EUR 49,790 threshold before January 1, 2025, but failed to register on time.
- Two cases are highlighted: one exceeding the threshold in mid-2024, registering in January 2025; another in December 2024, registering in March 2025.
- Application deadline is 20 days after exceeding the threshold; old registration form is used.
- Taxable period starts 22 days after the registration deadline and ends before official registration.
- VAT returns must be filed monthly during the taxable period; zero returns if no transactions occurred.
- Input VAT deductions can be claimed for the month the right arose; VAT control statements are required monthly.
- Guidelines are mainly for domestic persons but may help foreign taxable persons.
- Taxable persons should assess if they exceeded the threshold and adhere to VAT rules.
- Monitoring the threshold and registration deadlines is crucial for compliance.
