How e-invoicing in Slovakia will work

Here is how e-invoices will travel between businesses in Slovakia, and what it will mean for your everyday work in Billdu.

What is Peppol?

  • The European network for exchanging e-invoices.

  • Slovakia has chosen the five-corner model: your invoice goes from you to your provider (an access point), then to your client's provider, and into your client's system.

  • At the same time, the invoice data is passed to the Financial Administration (Finančná správa).

  • The Peppol Authority for Slovakia is the Financial Directorate of the Slovak Republic.

What is a "digital postman"?

  • It is the term for an access point - a provider accredited by the Financial Administration, through which e-invoices travel.

  • Billdu will send and receive e-invoices through an accredited partner.

How do companies find each other in the network?

  • By tax identification number (DIČ). The identifier has the format 0245:DIČ.

  • It is not your company ID (IČO) and not your VAT number (IČ DPH).

  • Fill in your own DIČ in Billdu, and add the DIČ for your clients as well.

What will I do differently?

  • In practice, almost nothing. You create the invoice in Billdu just as you do today.

  • Billdu sends it through the network in the correct format.

  • Incoming e-invoices arrive in your received invoices inbox in Billdu. There you can view them, accept or reject them, and download the original.

Do I need to report anything to the Financial Administration?

  • Invoices you issue: the data is sent automatically the moment the invoice is issued.

  • Invoices you receive: you must report the data within five days of delivery. In Billdu, this will be part of working with your received invoices inbox.

  • These rules may still change. We are keeping track of them for you.
