EU Custom declaration
What is the identification procedure for VAT purposes for a foreign company that is not established but which carries out business activities in Slovenia?
Even if a company's head office is in another state and the company carries out activities in Slovenia only occasionally, it must be identified for VAT purposes.
It must obtain a Slovenian tax identification number and submit accounts for the tax period to calculate tax due. A foreign taxable person who obtains a tax identification number and VAT identification number in Slovenia is obliged to submit monthly VAT returns.

VAT in Slovenia
Foreign companies may register in Slovenia for VAT without the need to form a local company; this is known as non-resident VAT trading. There is no VAT threshold in Slovenia for the registration of non-resident traders; a VAT number must be in place before the commencement of taxable supplies.
