Slovakia is drafting legislation to extend its domestic reverse charge regime to high‑risk B2B services such as IT, advertising and consultancy. The new rules would shift VAT liability to the customer and would only take effect once Slovakia secures a derogation from Article 193 of the EU VAT Directive. Businesses should prepare for customer‑side VAT accounting, stricter VAT ID checks and ERP updates.
