A general fiscal representative acts on behalf of a foreign company with respect to all its transactions of goods for which Slovene VAT is due (intra-Community acquisitions, imports, local acquisitions, intra-Community supplies, local supplies and exports from EU). In practice the foreign company will receive its own Slovene VAT number and gain all benefits and obligations as Slovene taxpayer. Next to the administrative benefits, appointing a general fiscal representative also creates the possibility to apply for postponed VAT accounting at import.
