In each of the cases above, we offer you quality and professional services in the field of tax consultancy and accounting.

We familiarize you with your rights and obligations as a non-resident doing business in Slovenia.
Road transport of passengers in European Community is taxed within the country where the transport takes place and with regard to the distance driven. Non-residents who deal in passenger transport are (like Slovenian taxable persons) obligated to register with Slovenian legal entities. This directive has been in force since 2006, and Custom office of the Republic of Slovenia is regularly carrying out inspections of compliance.
We provide company registration at the Tax Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, obtain an identification number for VAT, as well as prepare templates to help draw up a statement of value added tax. We inform you of items that should be included in received invoices, so that you may enforce deductable VAT and thus minimize your liability to pay it.
In accordance with Article 48 of Directive 2006/112/EC (the VAT Directive) the transport of passengers is taxed in Community based on distance driven through each state. Therefore non-residents engaged in transportation of passengers are required to register as Slovenian VAT payers. Penalties for companies who do not register in time range from 1,200 to 41,000 euros and from 200 to 4,100 euros for the person responsible…
In some cases, when selling goods/services in/to Slovenia, one has to register for VAT.
We offer you assistance in obtaining your own identification number for value added tax, as well as prepare a statement of value added tax.
When supplying goods to other Member States, only the supplier with proof of transfer of goods to other Member States can use the reverse taxation clause. If no such proof is provided, it is necessary to charge VAT .
Example: Company D from Germany has sold goods to company A in Austria. Company A has sold the same goods to company B in Austria, who sold goods to company S in Slovenia. Company D had sent the goods directly to Slovenian company S. Since company B does not have proof of transfer of goods to another Member State, the place of taxation is in Slovenia. In its Intrastat report, company D has to indicate that the goods were indeed sold in Slovenia.
For you we arrange the acquisition of an identification number for value added tax in Slovenia, as well as prepare a statement of value added tax.
Your company has exactly the same rights and obligations in Slovenia as other domestic companies. This means you must keep your books as well as submit financial reports and tax declerations.
