The transitional period for BREXIT ended on the 31^st December 2020. From 1^stJanuary 2021 Northern Ireland is still connected to the EU custom union, while this not applies to the rest of United Kingdom. Intrastat reporting stays obligatory only for Northern Ireland, while trade with the rest of the United Kingdom can no longer be reported in Intrastat, as it is now subject of the customs controls and formalities.

The following codes have been introduced because of this change:

XI - United Kingdom (Northern Ireland)

XU - United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland)

In the Intrastat system, code XI can be used for reporting the partner country and the country of origin of goods, while code XU can only be used for reporting the country of origin of goods. The GB code is no longer in use in the Intrastat reporting system.

2. Reporting of two new variables (voluntary)

Regulation (EU) No 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council on 27^th November 2019 on European business statistics introduces a mandatory exchange of microdata between EU Member States on exports of goods within the EU (dispatches) together with a mandatory collection of data on two new variables in this flow. These are the VAT identification number of the partner in the Member State of import within the EU (recipient) and the country of origin of the goods. The provisions will apply from 1 January 2022.

This change will also require a change in the format of the XML message and a change in the formats for importing data into the Intrastat application.

The new online Intrastat application, which was funded by the European Union, already enables reporting units reporting the new data elements, on a voluntary basis, with the reference period January 2021, while from January 2022 it will be mandatory.

3. The change of exemption threshold for dispatches of goods

The exemption threshold for dispatches has been reduced and will now amount to EUR 200,000.

Novelties in Intrastat reporting for 2021

For the reference period 2021 in Intrastat reporting next novelties will be introduced:

The partner country code GB no longer in use in Intrastat: due to the Brexit and the end of the transitional period on 31. December 2020 the partner country code GB will no longer be in use in Intrastat. From 1^st January 2021 a customs declaration has to be lodged for imports of goods from the United Kingdom without Northern Ireland (GB without Northern Ireland) and exports of goods to the GB without Northern Ireland, since GB has officially become third country. From this period on the trade in goods with the GB without Northern Ireland has to be excluded from Intrastat reports. You can read more about this on the FURS website.
Introduction of a new partner country code XI for Northern Ireland: due to the Protocol of the Ireland / Northern Ireland the new partner country code XI was introduced. After 1^stJanuary 2021 trade in goods with Northern Ireland will still need to be included in Intrastat reports but this time under the new partner country code XI and not GB, despite the fact that with this period Northern Ireland, together with GB, became a third country.
Changes to the codes of the country of origin of goods: in 2021, instead of the GB code, which will no longer be in use in Intrastat, two new country codes of origin XI and XU will be introduced. XI applies to goods originating from Northern Ireland and XU to goods originating from the GB excluding Northern Ireland.

The change of exemption threshold for dispatches of goods: the exemption threshold for dispatches has been reduced and will now amount to EUR 200,000.

With the reference year 2022, due to the Modernization of Intrastat, two new fields of the Intrastat form or declarations on the side of dispatches of goods will become mandatory: country of origin and ID partner. Reporting units can already in the transitional period on a voluntary basis fill in these two additional fields (items) of the declaration in the new online Intrastat application. In this way, the transition to new reporting in 2022 will be easier.

Intrastat reporting in 2021 in connection with Brexit and the end of transitional period

According to the information currently gathered, a customs declaration will have to be lodged on 1. January 2021 for imports of goods from the United Kingdom without Northern Ireland (GB without Northern Ireland) and exports of goods to the GB without Northern Ireland. Due to the Brexit and the end of the transitional period on 31. December 2020, trade in goods with the GB without Northern Ireland will be from then on subject to all customs formalities (supervisions, controls, procedures and duties) that are applied to trade with third non-EU countries.

This means that with reference period 202101 trade with the GB without Northern Ireland will have to be excluded from your Intrastat reports.

With this period, the GB partner country code will no longer be valid in Intrastat. However, the above applies exclusively to trade in goods with the United Kingdom without Northern Ireland, but not to the trade in goods with Northern Ireland.

Trade in goods with Northern Ireland will still need to be included in Intrastat reports under the new partner country code XI on the basis of Protocol of the Ireland / Northern Ireland.

This will also be in line with tax legislation. In the event of an extension of the transitional period with the entire GB by the end of the year, the reporting for Intrastat remains unchanged. We will keep you informed about any further developments on this matter. You can read more about this also on the FURS website.

Certificate change in EPOS module

We would like to inform you that FURS has replaced the encryption certificate for messages in the EPOS module (E-management for exchange of MQ messages in the customs FURS system) due to the expiration of the existing certificate.

You need to replace the existing FURS certificate with a new one by 31. January 2021 at the latest in case, you or your declarant submits Intrastat reports via this system.

Until the mentioned date, in the transitional period, both messages encryption certificates will be valid at the same time, after this date only the new certificate will be valid for exchange of MQ messages in the customs FURS system.

New Intrastat web-application

We would like to inform you we have launched a new web-application for Intrastat reporting and a new Intrastat web-page, which combines the content previously found on our methodological page and the page for reporting entities. This new Intrastat application and update of the new Intrastat web-page was funded by the European Union.

The new variables can be reported voluntarily until the reference month of January 2022, when in accordance with the mentioned legislation it will become compulsory. Until 1.2.2021 reporting in the existing web-application will also be possible.

The special exemption thresholds for detailed Intrastat reporting remain at 9,000,000 EUR for dispatches of goods and 4,000,000 EUR for arrivals of goods.

What is Intrastat?

Intrastat is a statistical survey on trade in goods between Member States of the European Union (EU), this data is an indispensable source of information and one of the most important indicators of a country's economic performance, it is collected monthly directly from enterprises (Providers of Statistical Information - PSI). In Slovenia the Intrastat survey is conducted in cooperation between the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS) and the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia (FURS). Read more on the Intrastat survey in Slovenia in our Intrastat guide.

Intrastat reporting

Who needs to report?

An enterprise will become a PSI when:

it trades with goods with bussinesses or individuals in other EU Member States
the vallue of either or both arrivals and dispatches of goods exceeds the statistical treshold published in the Intrastat guide.

When you become or cease to be obliged to report you will be informed by Financial office Nova Gorica.

What needs to be reported

A reporting unit must report a dispatch of goods from Slovenia to other EU Member States and arrivals of goods to Slovenia from other EU Member States - the physical flow of goods between Slovenia and EU Member States. What information to report and which are the exceptions is defined in detail in the Intrastat guide.

How to register for reporting

Trade operator (reporting unit) is notified by post of the Intrastat data reporting obligation by letter of notification. Upon receipt of the notification letter, the trade operator registers for reporting by filling in a questionnaire and in case it will report through the third declaring party, also has to fill in the authorization. Trade operator has to send the completed questionnaire and authorization to the e-mail address intrastat.fu@gov.si.

Third declaring party who wishes to apply for reporting itself must fill in the application form and has to send the completed application form to the e-mail address intrastat-prijava.fu@gov.si.

After successful registration, trade operator or third declaring party will receive a link to log in to the web Intrastat application to their e-mail address provided at the time of registration. When logging in to the web application for the first time, trade operator or third declaring party has to set up a security password for entering the application.

Reporting period

Reporting units can submit Intrastat declarations from 1. to 15. of the month following the reference period.

Reporting options

Reporting units are provided with two options of electronic reporting:

by exchanging emails;
through the online form.

Reporting by exchanging e-mails is suitable for all reporting units, but most suitable for reporting entities with a large number of business transactions. For electronic messaging reporting, reporting units and declarants need electronic reporting solutions for Intrastat via the electronic system of the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia. The exchange of messages is possible directly through the message types (MQ) of the system of Slovenian Ministry of public administration, or indirectly, through providers of services and e-commerce solutions. The electronic messaging reporting solution can be developed by the reporting agents and declarants themselves or obtained from the providers of such solutions and services on the market.

Reporting via the online form for reporting units and declarants is possible using the Intrastat online solution (application), which is available free of charge on this website. The online form is an easy way to report and gives the user a very easy way to enter information.

In order to ensure the highest security standards for data protection of reporting units, both electronic reporting methods (to ensure secure access, encryption of connection and secure electronic signature) require a digital certificate from one of the registered certification authorities in Slovenia: SIGEN-CA; Halcom-CA; Pošta®CA; AC NLB. You can read more about digital certificates at https://www.si-trust.gov.si/en/

Reporting units can use the Intrastat online test solution for deployment and testing purposes. A test digital certificate is required to use the test application.To arrange access to the Intrastat test solution and to test it, reporting units, declarants, or companies developing Intrastat reporting solutions through electronic messaging can contact the Nova Gorica Financial Office.
