“Registration by úradnej moci (official authority) simplifies the fulfillment of registration obligations for taxpayers and frees them from unnecessary administrative hassle,” said Daniel Kováč, spokesperson for the Financial Administration (Finančná správa), on Monday, September 7.
From September 7, 2026, the Financial Administration of Slovakia expands the group of taxpayers who are automatically registered for income tax. This means that these groups will no longer need to submit a registration form, report changes, or request cancellation of registration.
Who are the changes for?
Automatic registration applies to natural and legal persons already entered in the Register právnických osôb, podnikateľov a orgánov verejnej moci (RPO) — Register of Legal Entities, Entrepreneurs, and Public Authorities. This includes, in particular, funds and nonprofit organizations, trade unions and employer organizations, schools and universities, political parties, religious organizations, employment agencies, tourist organizations, and public research institutions. The Financial Administration published the full list of new data sources in its announcement.
Earlier, from June 1, 2026, the management and operation of the RPO information system was transferred from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic to the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic. This change aims to centralize and increase the efficiency of state administration in the area of reference registries.
Benefits and statistics
This initiative greatly simplifies life for entrepreneurs and organizations by reducing their administrative and time burdens. Thanks to this mechanism, the Financial Administration registered:
79,889 taxpayers in 2024.
91,270 taxpayers in 2025.
71,429 taxpayers from January to August 2026.
The automatic registration system has been in effect since January 2023 based on legislative changes and is continuously expanding.
What should other taxpayers do?
For those taxpayers not included in the expanded list of registries, the legal obligation remains to submit the form “Žiadosť o registráciu, oznámenie zmien a žiadosť o zrušenie registrácie” (Application for registration, notification of changes, and application for cancellation of registration) to the relevant tax authority.
