E-invoicing compliance and regulatory updates - Slovenia

Electronic Invoicing Slovenia

Business-to-Government (B2G) e-invoicing has been mandatory in Slovenia since January 2015 for all suppliers.

Slovenia mandates B2G e-invoicing through the PPA (Public Payments’ Administration of the Republic of Slovenia) e-invoicing system. E-invoices can be submitted directly via a web-portal, certified e-invoice solution providers, and through Bankart e-Invoicing solutions, that are provided by banks participating in the e-invoice interbank exchange in Slovenia. PPA has been connected to Peppol since 2018.

Required e-invoice formats are based on the European standard on e-Invoicing (EN), e-Slog 2.0, the national standard, and Peppol BIS.

The use of electronic invoice for Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions are allowed, however not mandatory. Slovenia uses the post-audit model for B2B invoicing and the buyer’s consent to receive e-Invoices is required. The issuing of e-invoices is not subject to any specific requirements.

It is worth mentioning that in 2023, the Slovenian Ministry of Finance proposed a draft law that will have a comprehensive expansion of e-invoicing obligations, targeting all B2B transactions.

The draft law outlines requirements for specified entities to exclusively exchange e-invoices complying with European and national standards. Although lacking specific implementation dates, the draft law signals a transition toward e-invoicing within an anticipated timeline, potentially becoming operational in 2025. Stay tuned!

The responsible tax authority in Slovenia is the Ministry of Finance / Tax Administration of Slovenia.

Interoperability

At Basware, we are passionate about delivering the benefits of open interoperability to our customers. So, we have partnered with more than 220 e-invoicing networks around the world to ensure the Basware Network remains the largest open commerce network of buyers and suppliers.

Basware currently has no connections to any interoperability partners in Slovenia.

Our advice

Slovenia allows various B2B invoicing methods: paper, PDF, electronic, and portal key-in invoices.

With adequate enablement campaigns, high levels of true electronic invoices can be obtained. We advise both invoice receivers and invoice senders to reach out to their customer/supplier base and discuss the possibility to deliver invoices electronically. This will drive cost reduction, increased automation and improved collaboration.

The Basware Network provides access to a large existing buyer/supplier base in Slovenia. Our experts are here to support you in your e-invoicing transformation.
