Free VAT-payer verification in Slovakia. Data comes from the public VAT-payer register published by the Slovak Financial Administration under § 52 of Act 222/2004 on VAT. Refreshed daily.
How to verify a VAT payer
- Enter the company ID or VAT ID (e.g. SK2020123456) into search.
- Open the company profile — in the “VAT registration” section you will see:
- current status (active payer / inactive / never registered)
- VAT ID
- registration type (§ 4, § 7, § 7a, § 4b etc.)
- registration date and the date when VAT-payer status started
- any registration-type change date
- If in doubt, verify directly on financnasprava.sk — ORSF only mirrors their public register.
What is a VAT ID
IČ DPH (VAT identification number) is a 12-character code assigned by the Slovak Financial Administration upon registering a business as a VAT payer. Slovak VAT IDs follow the structure SK + 10 digits (e.g. SK2020123456). The first 2 characters are the ISO country code, the next 10 match the tax ID.
VAT IDs appear on invoices for goods and services exchanged between VAT payers. Within the EU they also serve to verify partners via VIES (VAT Information Exchange System).
Who must register as a VAT payer
Under § 4 of the VAT Act registration is mandatory if the taxable person’s turnover for the past 12 consecutive calendar months exceeded EUR 49,790. Registration deadline: by the 20th day of the month following the threshold breach.

- § 7 — acquiring goods from another EU member state

- § 4 ods. 4 — voluntary registration (a company may apply before reaching the threshold)
