Rules for Organizing a Garage Sale in Slovenia
Organizing a garage sale in Slovenia is simple and legal if you follow some basic rules and laws.
- Sales Agreement: A garage sale constitutes a sales agreement under the Obligations Code (OZ), where the seller hands over an item and the buyer pays the agreed price.
- Public Event: A garage sale is considered a public event and must be reported to the police at least five days in advance. This includes details about the organizer, location, duration, and expected attendance, as required by the Public Gatherings Act (ZJZ).
- Liability for Defects: Sellers are responsible for any defects unless otherwise agreed. You can limit liability with a “sold as seen” clause in the sales agreement, as per the Obligations Code (OZ).
- Occasional Sale: For non-regular garage sales, sellers do not need to issue receipts or pay income tax. This applies to occasional sales of personal items.
- Tax Obligations: Occasional garage sales do not require VAT payment if the seller is not a tax-liable entity.
- Municipal Notification: In some cases, notifying the local municipality about the garage sale is advisable, though not always mandatory.
By following these simple rules, you can easily organize your garage sale and offer your items to a wider audience.
