Both citizens and legal entities are required to file a tax return in person, by post or electronically. If they choose to file the tax return by electronic means, they must sign up for the Financial Administration Portal.

Who is required to file a tax return electronically?

The obligation to file a tax return electronically has:

  • taxpayer, who is the payer of value added tax
  • the tax adviser for the tax entity he represents
  • lawyer for the tax entity he represents in the administration of taxes
  • other representative (not mentioned above), representing the taxable person who is the taxable person of value added tax

Practical advice
If you are submitting your tax return electronically for the first time, it is important that you start your registration in advance, as the registration, login and authorization process can take several days. If you will wait for an answer for more than 24 hours, we recommend that you contact the relevant tax office or the Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic by telephone.

Registration

The first step in submitting the tax return electronically is registering on the Financial Administration portal. Watch the video instructions how to register and sign up on the Financial Administration portal.

Registration options:

  • using an eID (a citizen ID with an electronic chip);
  • using KEP (electronic signature);
  • using the registration form.

Signing in

Upon successful registration, a citizen can sign up for the portal.

Sign-in after registration with the eID

If you sign in with an eID, you may use the option to sign in via the Central Government Portal (www.slovensko.sk).

Sign-in after registration with KEP

If you want to sign in with KEP (electronic signature), click on the sign-in option through the secured electronic signature and sign with your electronic signature.

Sign-in after using registration form

When signing in by using the registration form, select Identifier and Password. Insert the data into the form and continue to the page.

Authorization

In order for citizens to represent tax subjects, they must be authorized. To do so, click on "Request for authorization" and fill in the appropriate form. Authorization for the subject will only occur after the user has been notified by email. Authorization may take from 24 hours to 10 days.

Electronic taxes application - eDANE

What is eDANE for?

The eDANE application is used for electronic communication with the Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic and for filling electronic forms. All current forms can be filled in, signed with a qualified electronic signature (KEP) or electronic mark and then sent as a submission.

You can download the application from the webpage of The Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic (only in Slovak). See the guide for more information (only in Slovak).

How can I file a tax return (other than electronically)?

The completed tax return with attachments may also be sent by the tax subject (which is not obliged to communicate electronically in accordance with the Tax Code) by post or delivered in person to the filing office of the relevant tax office. The tax return form can be filled directly on your computer, where you can print it after filling, or print it and fill the form manually.
