Even if your turnover does not exceed the mandatory threshold, you have the option to register for VAT voluntarily. This can be advantageous if your business deals with other VAT-registered businesses, as it allows you to claim back VAT on your input costs.

Typically, the following documents are required for VAT registration in Slovenia:

• Proof of legal status of the company (company registration documents)
• Proof of identification of the company’s representative
• Information about the business activities and anticipated turnover
• Bank account information
• Any additional documentation specific to your business type
