Do not forget the obligatory electronic communication with the Financial Administration!

As of July 1, 2018, all the natural persons receiving income from enterprise are obliged to communicate with financial authorities in the electronic form. That means that submitting a tax return by post on July 2, 2018, will not be accepted by financial authorities, and you should be ready to pay a fine in the amount of 30 EUR for failure to submit a tax return. We recommend not leaving the tax return duty for the last moment.
Electronic communication cannot be arranged at short notice. The whole process may take 5 work days. On June 30, 2018, it is possible to set up electronic communication with a financial authority via the Portal of the Financial Administration after logging in with a name and password.
As of July 1, 2018, the only possibility will be using an ID card with a chip and setting up an advanced electronic signature (ZEP).

If you had waited till July 2, 2018, and if you do not own a valid certificate for electronic signatures via an ID card, there is a very little chance that you will avoid a fine for failure to submit a tax return.
Therefore, do not postpone your duty to submit a tax return for the year 2017. By June 30, 2018, upon registration at the Portal of the Financial Administration, it will be possible to sign an agreement on electronic communication with a financial authority. That requires a visit of the financial office. The electronic communication will be activated after logging in with a name and password. It is not necessary to use an ID card or activate certificates or an advanced electronic signature.
If you arrange the obligatory electronic communication with the financial authority after June 30, 2018, you will have to follow this process:
  • If you do not own an ID card with a chip, request a new card from the police.
  • Ask for setting up of an electronic signature – uploading the certificate in your ID. The police will also give you an ID reader.
  • Register on the portal of the Financial Administration.
  • Download the application for electronic signatures via ID on the website slovensko.sk.
  • Register on the website financnasprava.sk using your ID.
  • Ask for authorization of your subject (e.g. your trade license) electronically
