Intrastat in Slovenia in 2026 – Thresholds, Reporting Obligations and Deadlines
Spis treści
The system is designed to provide accurate information on trade flows within the European single market and forms an important part of Slovenia’s statistical reporting obligations. Understanding when reporting becomes mandatory and how declarations must be submitted is essential for companies involved in cross-border trade.
Competent authority for Intrastat in Slovenia
Intrastat reporting in Slovenia is administered by the Slovenian Financial Administration (Finančna uprava Republike Slovenije – FURS), in cooperation with the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia.
The Financial Office of Nova Gorica remains responsible for many operational aspects of Intrastat administration and provides support to businesses regarding reporting obligations, registrations, and technical questions.
Businesses can contact the Intrastat department through the official FURS communication channels for assistance with reporting requirements.
Intrastat thresholds in Slovenia
Businesses become subject to Intrastat reporting once the annual value of their intra-EU trade exceeds the reporting thresholds established by the Slovenian authorities.
For 2026, the applicable thresholds are:
Dispatches (goods sent from Slovenia to other EU Member States)
- Reporting threshold: EUR 270,000
Arrivals (goods received in Slovenia from other EU Member States)
- Reporting threshold: EUR 240,000
Once a business exceeds the relevant threshold, it will generally receive notification from the competent authority regarding its reporting obligations.
Companies should continuously monitor their trade volumes, as reporting obligations may arise during the course of a calendar year.
Reporting periods and submission deadlines
Intrastat declarations in Slovenia must be submitted on a monthly basis.
The deadline for filing is the 15th day of the month following the reporting period.
Examples:
- January transactions → declaration due by 15 February
- February transactions → declaration due by 15 March
Where the filing deadline falls on a non-working day, the applicable deadline follows the rules established by the Slovenian authorities.
Timely submission is important to avoid compliance issues and possible administrative sanctions.
How to submit Intrastat declarations
Intrastat declarations in Slovenia are submitted exclusively in electronic form.
Paper submissions are not accepted.
Businesses can file declarations through the designated electronic reporting platforms provided by the Slovenian authorities. Access typically requires appropriate electronic identification and authentication credentials.
The declaration contains information such as:
- commodity codes,
- transaction values,
- quantities,
- partner Member States,
- nature of transaction codes,
- delivery terms where required.
The level of detail depends on the type and volume of reported transactions.
Corrections and amendments
If errors are discovered after submission, businesses are required to submit corrected Intrastat declarations.
Corrections may be necessary in situations such as:
- incorrect commodity classification,
- incorrect values,
- reporting in the wrong period,
- incorrect quantities,
- incorrect country information.
Prompt correction of errors helps ensure compliance and improves the quality of statistical data used by national and EU authorities.
Zero declarations
Businesses that are subject to Intrastat reporting may be required to submit a nil (zero) declaration if no reportable intra-EU movements of goods occurred during a reporting period.
The obligation to submit zero declarations depends on the reporting instructions received from the competent authority.
Businesses should follow the guidance provided by FURS regarding periods with no reportable transactions.
Special reporting situations
Certain transactions require special treatment within Intrastat reporting, including:
- returns of goods,
- replacement goods,
- transfers of own goods,
- call-off stock arrangements,
- goods sent for processing,
- goods received after processing.
These situations may require the use of specific transaction codes and reporting procedures.
Penalties for non-compliance
Failure to comply with Intrastat obligations may result in administrative penalties.
Sanctions may apply in cases of:
- failure to submit declarations,
- repeated late submissions,
- incomplete reporting,
- submission of inaccurate data,
- failure to correct errors when requested.
The amount of any penalty depends on the seriousness of the infringement and the applicable Slovenian legislation in force at the time of the violation.
Businesses can minimise compliance risks by implementing procedures for monitoring trade volumes and reviewing Intrastat reporting data before submission.

Summary

Monitoring trade volumes, meeting filing deadlines and promptly correcting errors are essential for avoiding penalties and maintaining compliance.
