Is your company ready for e-invoicing? Peppol network check by IČO

Your company and your customers and suppliers all at once, on one screen. From 1 January 2027, VAT payers must send invoices to Slovak companies as e-invoices through the Peppol network, and every company must be able to receive them. Free of charge, we do not store the IČO you enter.

1. 1. 2027 1 January 2027
0 of 50

We take the data from the register of legal entities, the Financial Administration of the SR, the register of financial statements, VIES and the Peppol network directory. We do not store the IČO you enter.

You will see the result here

For each company we verify five things at once:

  1. whether it is registered in the Peppol network and who delivers its e-invoices,
  2. whether it is a VAT payer, that is, whether it must issue e-invoices,
  3. DIČ and IČ DPH from the lists of the Financial Administration, the register of financial statements and VIES,
  4. whether the company exists and has not ceased,
  5. what you need to complete by 1 January 2027.
How the check works

What exactly we check and where we get it from

Peppol network registration

From 2027, e-invoices are delivered through the European Peppol network. A Slovak company has an address in it in the form 0245:DIČ. We query the network directory in the same way as a delivery service does when sending an invoice. If we find the company, we also show which service receives its invoices.

VAT registration

Whether a company must issue e-invoices depends on whether it is a VAT payer. We check this in the list of the Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic by IČO and in the European VIES register. For a member of a VAT group, we also find the group's IČ DPH.

The company exists and has not ceased to exist

We take the name and registered office from the Register of Legal Entities, and the DIČ from the lists of the Financial Administration or from the Register of Financial Statements. If the company has ceased to exist, we will alert you. Do not send e-invoices to such a customer any more.

Rules from 1. 1. 2027

Who mandatory e-invoicing applies to and who it does not

The obligation to issue e-invoices is narrower than is often written. The obligation to receive them is, on the contrary, broader. The first phase applies from 1 January 2027 to 30 June 2030.

SituationWhat happens
A Slovak VAT payer invoices a Slovak company, sole trader, municipality or associationMust issue an e-invoice
A non-VAT payer, municipality or association buys from a VAT payerMust be able to receive an e-invoice
A non-VAT payer issues an invoice to a companyDoes not have to issue an e-invoice
Sale to a private individual, receipt from a cash register up to €400, document up to €100Doesn't apply
Supply exempt from taxDoesn't apply
Foreign company with a Slovak IČ DPH (registration under § 5)It does not apply to her until the end of June 2030
Invoice to another EU countryOnly the listed cases, and only from July 2030

An e-invoice goes through a delivery service registered with the Financial Administration. The same service also sends the invoice data to the tax office. For failing to issue a mandatory e-invoice, the fine is from 100 to 10 000 €. For failing to report data, the fine is up to 10 000 €, and up to 100 000 € for repeat offences. You will find details in the article E-invoicing from 2027: a PDF by e-mail will no longer be enough.

Checklist

What to get done by 1 January 2027

  1. Choose a delivery service. It registers your company on the Peppol network. It can be part of the invoicing software you already use. Check that it is on the Financial Administration's list of providers.
  2. Switch on receiving e-invoices. It concerns every company, including a non-VAT payer. Without it, a supplier will not be able to deliver an invoice to you from January.
  3. Invoice from software, not from Word. An e-invoice is a data file according to the EN 16931 standard. A PDF in an e-mail will not be enough between VAT payers.
  4. Check your customers. For each one you need the correct DIČ, by which the network finds them. The check above shows you who is still missing from the network.
  5. Send a test e-invoice in December. While it is not yet mandatory, a mistake costs nothing. In January you would be dealing with it alongside the period-end close.
For matu.sk clients

Are you our client? We will handle e-invoicing for you

We register matu.sk clients on the Peppol network and set up receiving of e-invoices for them. You issue e-invoices in the client zone or in our phone app. Received invoices arrive in the zone and we book them straight away. You do not need to look for another program or a delivery service.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about e-invoicing and the Peppol network

What is a Peppol ID and how does a Slovak company get one?

A Peppol ID is a company's address on the Peppol network, much like an e-mail address for mail. A Slovak company has it in the form 0245:DIČ, for example 0245:2120466810. The number 0245 denotes a Slovak DIČ. The address is registered for you by the delivery service you choose.

I am not a VAT payer. Does e-invoicing concern me?

You do not have to issue e-invoices from 1 January 2027. However, you must be able to receive an e-invoice from a supplier who is a VAT payer, so you do need to be on the Peppol network. You do not report data from received invoices to the tax authority.

The check says the company is not on the network. What now?

By 1 January 2027, choose a delivery service and ask it to register you on the Peppol network. If you already have a service, check that it registered you under the correct DIČ. If a customer is missing from the network, warn them in good time. From January you will have no way to deliver an e-invoice to them.

Why does the check say "could not be verified"?

One of the public registers or the Peppol network directory did not respond just now. In that case we would rather write nothing than claim that the company is not on the network. Try again in a few minutes. If the company has no DIČ in any public list, there is nothing to query the Peppol network with.

Do you store the IČO I enter or the results?

No. A list of customers could reveal who you do business with, so the IČO is not stored anywhere or written to server logs. We only count how many companies were checked from one connection so that the page cannot be flooded.

Is the check free? Does it have any limits?

It is free and requires no registration. From one connection you can check 150 companies per hour and 400 per day. For an ordinary company that is enough to check all its customers. The limit protects the public registers and the network directory so that they do not block us because of overload.

How quickly does a new network registration or VAT registration show up?

A Peppol network registration is visible as soon as the delivery service makes it. The Financial Administration updates the list of VAT payers once a day. That is why we also check a fresh registration in the European VIES register.

Is it enough from 2027 to send an invoice as a PDF by e-mail?

No, not between Slovak VAT payers. The invoice must be a data file according to the EN 16931 standard and must go through a delivery service. You can send a PDF in addition as an attachment, but on its own it does not meet the obligation. If you only need an ordinary invoice, for example for a private individual, you can use our online invoice.

The check is indicative. It is based on public registers and the Peppol network directory at the time of the check and does not replace an assessment of your specific situation by an accountant or tax adviser. Company data comes from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic (Register of Legal Entities), the Financial Administration of the Slovak Republic (open data), the Register of Financial Statements, the European Commission (VIES) and the Peppol network directory.
