CRYPTOCURRENCY SETTLEMENTS IN SLOVAKIA

Back in 2015, the National Bank of Slovakia stated that bitcoin does not have the necessary features of a currency, which means that it will not be regulated by the state. Transactions with cryptocurrencies in the country are not prohibited or restricted in any way. Accordingly, there is limited legislative regulation in the country.

Slovakia is included in the list of countries that have already recognized Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Nevertheless, in 2018, the state strengthened its attitude towards digital currencies and businesses involving them. Slovak banks, on the initiative of local regulators, began to liquidate the accounts of enterprises related to cryptocurrencies. They introduced pan-European restrictions that increase control over the crypt sphere.

In Slovak law, non-fiat currencies such as ethereum, ripple, litecoin and others are not subject to precise regulation by law. As for other exchange or other transactions, all of them, similarly to bitcoin and altcoins, are not properly regulated by the state, but at the same time do not go beyond the legal field.

Taxation of crypto currency:

As for taxation, it depends on how much you managed to earn with cryptocurrency.

For individuals – If the income is less than €38,000, you will have 19% tax. If the income is higher, the tax is 25%. These taxes apply to individuals who earn money using cryptocurrency in Slovakia.
For legal entities – income tax is 21%. But if the income is up to 49,790 euros – the rate is 15%

How long does company registration take?

Registration as a sole proprietor (živnosť) usually takes up to 4 business days. Registration of a full limited liability company (s.r.o.) takes 7–10 days from the date all required powers of attorney are signed.

Can I open a company remotely without travelling to Slovakia?

Yes, the registration of a company or sole proprietorship can be completed entirely remotely on the basis of a notarised power of attorney. However, your personal visit will be required to submit biometric data for a residence permit to the immigration police, as well as for final identification at certain Slovak banks.

What taxes will I pay as a small business?

In 2026, legal entities with annual income of up to EUR 100,000 are subject to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 10%. If you operate as a sole proprietor, the system allows the deduction of so-called “flat-rate expenses” (a fixed percentage of expenses without supporting documents), which makes the tax burden minimal.

When is a company required to register for VAT?

Mandatory VAT registration arises if your company’s turnover in Slovakia over the last 12 months exceeds the threshold of EUR 50,000. It is also possible to register for VAT voluntarily at the launch stage if this is necessary for working with your European counterparties.
