Slovakia Moves Toward Mandatory E-Invoicing with Peppol-Based System

Slovakia’s Financial Administration has officially announced plans to establish a decentralized e-invoicing system using the Peppol network. This move marks a major step in Slovakia’s journey toward the digitalization of its invoicing processes and the eventual introduction of mandatory e-invoicing across the country.

Key Highlights of the New System

By joining the Peppol network, Slovakia is adopting a decentralized model where businesses can send structured electronic invoices directly through the network infrastructure. One major advantage of this approach is that invoices can be sent without needing the buyer's prior consent—as all businesses will be automatically registered in Peppol under the national framework.

The Peppol-based system will standardize how invoices are created, transmitted, and received, making the invoicing process more efficient, secure, and interoperable not just within Slovakia but also across borders.

What This Means for Businesses

Slovakian companies should begin preparing for integration with Peppol standards, ensuring that their invoicing systems can create and handle structured electronic invoices. Early adoption will help businesses stay ahead of compliance requirements and benefit from faster, more transparent billing processes.
