Declaring & Updating Storage Locations for OSS in Slovakia
Summary
When registering for OSS (One-Stop Shop) in Slovakia, you must declare all warehouse locations where your goods are stored — both in Slovakia and across the EU.
This enables the Slovak tax authorities to correctly assess your VAT and OSS reporting obligations.
✅ At registration
Provide full details of every warehouse or fulfilment centre (including Amazon FBA or third-party logistics (3PL) providers).
⚙️ If your storage setup changes
You must notify hellotax immediately with:
- New warehouse address and country
- Start date of storage
- Provider name (Amazon or 3PL)
hellotax will submit the required amendment to the Financial Directorate of the Slovak Republic.
⚠️ If you don't update
Your OSS returns may be delayed or rejected, and the tax authority may request additional information or carry out compliance checks.
💡 Tip
If you use Amazon FBA or Pan-European FBA, check your Seller Central inventory reports every month.
Amazon can automatically redistribute your stock between EU warehouses.
Notify hellotax whenever new storage countries appear.
