CSRD in Slovakia

Slovakia fines a sustainability-reporting breach between €100 and €100,000. Two larger figures circulate — €1,000,000 and €3,000,000 — and both belong to different offences in the same section of the Accounting Act.

Where do these figures come from?

Slovakia's sustainability fine is €100,000 — an order of magnitude below the figures in circulation

Comparison tables show Slovakia at €3,000,000 or €1,000,000. The Accounting Act as in force on 1 June 2026 sets €38(2)(f) — the tier that penalises the §38(1)(p) sustainability offence — at €100 to €100,000. The same wording appears in every consolidated version since 1 June 2024.

In short

Slovakia added sustainability-reporting breaches to the Accounting Act 431/2002 at §38(1)(p), through Act 105/2024 in force from 1 June 2024. Paragraph (p) covers breaches of §§20 to 20i, and §38(2)(f) sets the penalty for it: €100 to €100,000. The daňový úrad (tax office) enforces. The 2%-of-assets tier capped at €1,000,000 sits at §38(2)(b) and covers other offences, including failing to have the sustainability information assured and failing to file it in the register.

Where do the €1m and €3m figures actually apply?

The €1,000,000 cap is real, but it belongs to §38(2)(b), which prices the offences at §38(1)(b) to (f) at up to 2% of total assets. Two of those matter for sustainability: failing to obtain assurance of the sustainability information, and failing to file the documents in the register. So the larger exposure attaches to not having the report assured or not filing it — not to what the report says.

The €3,000,000 ceiling elsewhere in §38(2) dates from 2015 and applies to the gravest bookkeeping offences under §38(1)(a), such as not keeping books at all.

A Securities Act amendment in force from 10 Jul 2025 transposes the stop-the-clock deferral — wave 2 to FY2027, wave 3 to FY2028 — without touching the fines. The 1 June 2026 amendment to Act 431/2002 adds §39zg, a transitional provision transposing Omnibus I, and leaves §38 unchanged.

What are the penalties?

€100 to €100,000 for the sustainability-reporting offence, under §38(2)(f).

  • Sustainability reporting — §38(1)(p) via §38(2)(f), max €100,000

    €100 to €100,000 — §38(1)(p) covers breaches of §§20 to 20i, the sustainability reporting provisions, and is penalised under §38(2)(f)

  • €1,000,000 — assurance and filing, a different tier

    §38(2)(b) sets up to 2% of total assets, capped at €1,000,000, for §38(1)(b) to (f) — which include failing to have the sustainability information assured under §20h and failing to file it in the register.

  • €3,000,000 — a different offence again

    The Act's overall ceiling applies to the gravest offences under §38(1)(a) and dates from 2015. It is not the sustainability tier.

Common questions

What is the CSRD penalty in Slovakia?
€100 to €100,000, under §38(2)(f) of the Accounting Act — the tier that penalises the sustainability-reporting offence at §38(1)(p). The €1,000,000 and €3,000,000 figures often quoted belong to other offences in the same section: assurance and filing failures, and the gravest bookkeeping offences.
