- Registration tax benefits
BEVs benefit from a lower registration tax compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The specific rate depends on the vehicle's CO2 emissions, typically ranging from 2% to 5% for BEVs compared to 8% for gasoline cars.
- Ownership tax benefits
Annual tax rate for BEVs is zero. Hybrid motor vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs) have a reduced tax rate of up to 50 %.
- Purchase subsidies
From July 2020 there is no known purchase subsidy available. A new programme is expected.
- Other financial benefits
Parking discounts on selected cities.
Since 1 January 2020 a new depreciation group ‘0’ for electric vehicles was established. Personal battery electric vehicles (BEV) or plug-in electric vehicles (PHEV) in a combination with other fuel type or energy source are depreciated for two years.
- Local incentives
Low emission zones. In November 2017, the Slovak parliament adopted an amendment to the Air Protection Act; this amendment enables municipalities to introduce low emission zones and thus indirectly favour low emission vehicles such as EVs or hybrids.
- AF infrastructure incentives
The Slovak government is actively investing in expanding the country's public charging infrastructure, making it more convenient to own and operate an EV.
- Company Tax Benefits
Businesses purchasing EVs for business use might be entitled to a reduced company car tax benefit, compared to gasoline cars.
- Purchase Subsidies
As of February 1st, 2024, Slovakia doesn't offer direct purchase subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs).
- VAT Benefits
No VAT reduction.
