VAT refund in Slovenia: why it is convenient?

A simple and fast request.

How to get a VIES?

In Slovenia, in order to get the refund of VAT, the company needs to have the VIES (VAT Information Exchange System), meaning having the European VAT. However, the procedure to obtain the VIES is quite complicated (unless if buying a preexisting sole-trader business). Required documents are as follows:

• a business plan
• a real estate lease or purchase agreement
• an employment contract for at least one employee
• a collaboration agreement, quotations and letters of intent with foreign clients and suppliers in Slovenian language
• a collaboration agreement, quotations and letters of intent with foreign clients and suppliers in Slovenian/ English language
• other documents required by the Slovenian Revenue Agency depending on the activity type

VAT refund?

The Slovenian VAT is of 22% and of 9.5%. The convenient part, however, is the possibility of getting it refunded, which is easy and quick. In Slovenia, when a business reenters the VAT system and closes the current month with VAT credit, it will surely be refunded in the following month, which means in 21 days with a bank transfer by the Slovenian Revenue Agency.
