Slovenia VAT rate 2026: 22% standard rate

By Remco from Avatcado

Slovenia charges a 22 percent standard VAT rate, a 9.5 percent reduced rate for most groceries and accommodation, and a 5 percent super-reduced rate for books and press in force since 2020. A pending reform (ZIURS) adopted by parliament in May 2026 would cut basic food from 9.5 to 5 percent, but a referendum challenge has kept it stalled, so the 22/9.5/5 schedule remains current.

Frequently asked questions

Is Slovenia about to cut VAT on food?

A reform called ZIURS, adopted by the National Assembly in May 2026, would permanently cut basic staple foods from 9.5 to 5 percent, but a trade-union referendum challenge has left the VAT provisions suspended, so the current 22/9.5/5 schedule still applies as of the review date.

What is the VAT registration threshold in Slovenia?

EUR 60,000 of annual taxable turnover, raised from EUR 50,000 on 1 January 2025, with a EUR 66,000 immediate transitional in-year registration limit.
