With effect from 01.01.2022, the Financial Administration will deliver documents electronically to taxpayers.
On 25.10.2021, the Financial Administration published on its official website information that from 1 January 2022it will start full two-way electronic communication with taxpayers. Until now, only taxpayers (entrepreneurs) were obliged to deliver all documents (tax returns, notifications, applications, etc.) Financial administration electronically, however, the Financial Administration communicated with taxpayers by post.
In the new case , the Financial Administration will deliver the vast majority of the document to taxpayers by electronic mailbox on the "Central Portal of Public Administration" known as www.slovensko.sk. The notification that a document has been delivered to the taxpayer's electronic mailbox will be able to be chosen by taxpayers in two ways, by e-mail or SMS.
However, it remains valid that taxpayers communicate towards the Financial Administration through the portal of the Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic.
Legal entities registered in the Commercial Register are automatically activated by the electronic mailbox and thus the documents will be sent to it in this electronic mailbox.
Natural persons are activated electronic mailbox at their request.
Taxpayers who do not have an electronic mailbox activated will be provided with the delivery of documents through the so-called "Central Official Service". This means that if the Financial Administration fails to deliver the document electronically, it will arrange for the document to be delivered in paper form via the Slovak Post.
If you want to avoid long waits at the post office in the future and want to download documents electronically, we recommend the following steps:
1. secure your ID card with a chip (if you do not already have one),
2. Activate your e-ID card for e-signing,
3. secure the e-document reader;
4. activate the electronic mailbox on the portal www.slovensko.sk (Central Portal of Public Administration).
Points 1 to 3 can be handled in the document department or at the client centre of the Ministry of Interior.
After your initial activation of the electronic mailbox, you can also grant access to another authorized person (accountant, tax advisor) to manage your mailbox.
