Faktúra is an invoice, a document where a seller asks for payment for goods or services. This is what sole traders (živnostníci) and companies issue to their clients to get paid.
A correct Faktúra must include required information: who issued it and who is the recipient, invoice number, date of issue and date of delivery, description of the goods or services, the amount, and the payment deadline (splatnosť). If you are a VAT payer (platiteľ DPH), the Faktúra must also include VAT information.
How it works in practice
- You create the Faktúra in a program or using a template and send it to the client.
- The client pays by the specified deadline (splatnosť, often 14 days).
- Keep copies of the Faktúras – they are needed for accounting and the tax office.
You do not have to buy a Faktúra form: a free template or an online service will work. The most important thing is that it has all the required details and your IBAN for payment.
