30 September 2026 is the deadline for submitting claims for VAT charged to businesses in another EU Member State on goods or services purchased during the previous calendar year.<\/strong><\/p>\nBusinesses should therefore review their 2025 documentation and identify invoices on which VAT from another EU Member State was charged.<\/p>\n
Who can claim a refund?<\/h3>\n
A taxable person identified for VAT purposes in Slovenia may submit a refund claim provided that the relevant conditions are met in the Member State where the VAT was charged.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that refund rules may differ between EU Member States.<\/p>\n
Therefore, an invoice containing foreign VAT does not automatically mean that the business is entitled to recover it.<\/p>\n
Which expenses may include foreign VAT?<\/h3>\n
Slovenian businesses frequently encounter foreign VAT when carrying out business activities elsewhere in the EU.<\/p>\n
Examples may include business travel, trade fairs and business events, accommodation, rentals and various purchases of goods and services abroad.<\/p>\n
The eligibility of each expense should be assessed according to the rules applicable in the country where the VAT was paid.<\/p>\n
How is the claim submitted?<\/h3>\n
The refund application is submitted electronically through the Slovenian eDavki system<\/strong>. FURS then forwards the application to the competent tax authority of the relevant EU Member State.<\/p>\nBusinesses with a larger number of foreign invoices should review their documentation as soon as possible rather than waiting until the final days before the deadline.<\/p>\n
The deadline is 30 September<\/h3>\n
Missing the deadline may result in the business losing the opportunity to claim the relevant VAT refund for that period.<\/p>\n
