Slovakia Declares eFaktúra Infrastructure Complete as 5,000 Firms Enrol and Certified Providers Reach 67
The Financial Administration announced on 21 August 2026 that the e-invoicing infrastructure is complete and fully functional , saying the new communication infrastructure carries tax data from e-invoices automatically and confirms receipt back to the Digital Postman, and that Slovakia is the first country in Europe to put an e-reporting model built to the new EU VAT rules into practice. Uptake followed: by 27 August the authority recorded more than 5,000 businesses that had chosen a certified provider through the selection portal, among them banks, food producers, retail chains, towns and non-profits, and one commercial bank has put e-invoicing inside its internet banking. The certified provider list of 28 August 2026 names 67 Digital Postmen holding identifiers EFSK000001 to EFSK000067, up from 55 on 4 August, with eight more in accreditation . Guidance moved on as well: a step-by-step manual for companies and sole traders and a revised FAQ 9/DPH/2025/IM , both dated 26 August 2026, and guides for civic associations, foundations and non-profits on 13 August. The revised FAQ adds answers on VAT groups, whose internal supplies fall outside the regime entirely, on factoring and assigned receivables, and on the notification deadline: the five-day limit applies to self-billing and to a recipient's own notification, while a supplier reports at the time it issues the e-invoice. Seven free regional conferences run through September 2026, with more than half of the 1,900 places taken a week after they opened. The 1 January 2027 mandate is unchanged, and the draft VAT Act amendment (LP/2026/282 ) that would defer buyer-side reporting to 1 July 2030 and add a penalty-free period to 31 March 2027 remains a draft.

The DGII announced that taxpayers classified as large local and medium must issue only type E electronic fiscal receipts (e-CF) from 1 November 2026. Their non-electronic type B sequences remain valid only until 31 October 2026, a cut-off the DGII grounds in Article 55 of Decree 587-24, and after that may be used only in a declared contingency. The 15 November 2026 deadline for small, micro and unclassified taxpayers is unchanged.

SARS opens consultation on a Digital VAT Model
SARS published the VAT Modernisation Consultation Paper, proposing a five-corner decentralised continuous transaction control and exchange model combining e-invoicing, an interoperability framework and e-reporting.

Comments close on 16 October 2026.

National Tax Compliance Programme softens enforcement through 2026
Joint Act RFB/CGIBS nº 5, signed 12 August 2026, regulates a guidance-led programme for the CBS and IBS transition year. Taxpayers that answer monitoring notices, keep a responsible accountant and correct inconsistencies by 31 December 2026 are monitored rather than assessed, and a monitoring notice does not by itself open a tax procedure. The 60-day period to make good an identified omission is preserved.

CGSN moves the Simples Nacional NFS-e date and folds in the CBS and IBS
Resolutions CGSN nº 190 and nº 191, of 4 August 2026, adapt the Simples Nacional to the consumption tax reform. Resolution 191 moves the date on which micro-enterprises and small businesses must issue the national-standard NFS-e through the Emissor Nacional from 1 September to 1 November 2026, giving municipalities and taxpayers more time for the operational and technical work. The package also brings the CBS and IBS into Simples Nacional collection and assessment from 1 January 2027, ties revenue recognition to the issuing of a fiscal document, and confirms that MEIs must issue documents for goods and services.

Decision No. 189/2026 Sets Legal E-Invoicing Dates of April and October 2027
Oman's Tax Authority issued Decision No. 189/2026 on 9 August 2026, amending the Executive Regulations of the VAT Law. The replaced Article 143 requires the tax invoice to be issued, sent and stored in an approved, secured electronic format with a unique number for each invoice, covering supplies including those to persons not subject to tax, deemed supplies and consideration received before the supply date. Invoices carry XML and pass between seller and buyer systems through accredited service providers; paper invoices, PDFs and emailed images of invoices no longer qualify. New Articles 143bis, 143bis1 and 143bis2 add the licensed provider list, the taxpayer's system security duties and a discretionary exemption granted by the Chairman. The obligation starts on 1 April 2027 for taxpayers with annual supplies above OMR 5 million and on 1 October 2027 for those at or below, preceded by a pilot of 100 companies from August 2026. These dates supersede the four-phase August 2026, February 2027 and August 2027 schedule the Tax Authority still publishes on its e-invoicing FAQ.

Joint Technical Act RFB/CGIBS nº 1, of 31 July 2026, approved and ratified the technical documentation for the NF-e, NFC-e, CT-e, CT-e OS, GTV-e, BP-e, NF3e and NFCom, taking Nota Técnica 2025.002 to version 1.51. Through those note versions the validation rules that were to reject documents without the new CBS and IBS fields from 3 August 2026 were deferred. The RFB and the CGIBS stress that the duty to complete the fields is unchanged, noting 88% of documents already carried the information on 4 August.

Ministerial Ordinance No. 540/280 of 4 August 2026 requires importers of goods for resale or industrial use to present, with the customs declaration, the identifier of an e-invoicing system or machine registered in their name.

Ordinance No. 540/269 of the same date requires messes, hotels and businesses run by defence, security, prison and other public services to register and use an approved system.

Slovakia eFaktúra Goes Live: 55 Certified Digital Postmen and Consolidated Guidance
The eFaktúra production service went live during the summer of 2026 and the certified provider ecosystem more than doubled. Voluntary use opened on 3 June 2026 with an online provider selection service that completes in two to three minutes using electronic identification, and the list of certified delivery service providers published on 4 August 2026 names 55 Digital Postmen holding identifiers EFSK000001 to EFSK000055, with a further group still in accreditation as at 30 July 2026. The Financial Administration published a consolidated 47-page FAQ 9/DPH/2025/IM on 7 July 2026, version 1.10 of the Peppol BIS transposition rules on 25 June 2026, and guidance for municipalities and towns on 16 July 2026, followed on 27 July 2026 by an information campaign for local government with the Association of Towns and Villages of Slovakia and a series of expert conferences planned for September 2026. From 23 June 2026 the authority began assigning a DIČ automatically to roughly 58,000 civic associations, foundations and non-profit organisations that held only an IČO, because the DIČ routes e-invoices through the Peppol network. The 1 January 2027 mandate is unchanged: VAT payers must issue domestic B2B and B2G e-invoices in EN 16931 XML, and every legal person and taxable person must be able to receive one. The draft VAT Act amendment (LP/2026/282 ) that would defer buyer-side reporting to 1 July 2030 and add a penalty-free period to 31 March 2027 closed for comments on 16 June 2026 and has not been enacted; the FAQ of 7 July 2026 still describes the 5-day reporting obligation.
