The VAT number in Slovakia has 10 digits and starts with the prefix &#8220;SK.&#8221; All EU member states have a standardized format for VAT numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you will receive a unique bank account for funding your money in addition to the Slovakian VAT certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slovakian-tax-rates-how-high-are-they\">Slovakian tax rates: how high are they?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Slovakia, the standard VAT rate is 20%. There is also a reduced VAT rate of 10% for certain goods and services, such as food, books, and medical products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I get registered for OSS instead of getting VAT registered in Slovakia?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you may choose to register for the One-Stop-Shop (OSS) instead of Value Added Tax (VAT) registration in Slovakia. However, this is only applicable for the non-EU scheme since the EU based companies have to be OSS registered in their home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-i-get-registered-or-find-out-if-i-need-to-register-in-slovakia\">How do I get registered or find out if I need to register in Slovakia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something we can assist you with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can book a <a href=\"https:\/\/hellotax.com\/contact-us?button=header\">free consultation<\/a> with us if you are not sure whether you need a registration in Slovakia.
