How are Giftcards treated for tax purposes in Slovenia (VAT, single-purpose / multi-purpose)?
Slovenia applies an EU Giftcard logic in practice; the administration effectively distinguishes SPV/MPV-like cases (even if the law does not always use the terminology). SPV-like: tax at issuance/transfer; MPV-like: tax at redemption. Confirmed by EU Commission information and FURS guidance. (VAT e-Commerce – One Stop Shop)
Is there a legal rule in Slovenia on the validity period of Giftcards?
No fixed statutory minimum or maximum validity period; validity is generally set by the issuer’s T&Cs. Practice examples show different periods (e.g., two years for a retailer). The general rule is transparent terms under consumer law. (European Consumer Centre)
What consumer rights apply in Slovenia for expired Giftcards?
Usually, no right to redemption/refund after expiry if the period was clearly agreed; consumer rights follow general EU/national consumer protection rules (information and transparency duties). (European Consumer Centre)
What special rules apply in Slovenia to the sale, issuance, or redemption of Giftcards?
Transparent T&Cs on validity, scope, residual value and fees are essential. Merchants set their own validity periods (e.g., “valid until date shown on the card” or a fixed duration). Documentation of issuance/redemption is recommended. (shrusko.si)
