Initial consultation

At the beginning, we clarify your expectations, goals, and the context of the situation. We identify the main risks and opportunities and outline possible directions for the solution, including the next steps of our cooperation.
2

Collection of documents

We request the necessary documents and additional information so that we have a complete and accurate picture of your situation. Thorough preparation is the foundation of a quality solution.
3

Analysis and solution proposal

We thoroughly analyze the collected documents and evaluate all legal, tax, and economic aspects. If necessary, a multidisciplinary team of attorneys, tax advisors, and auditors collaborates on the proposal. The proposed solution is therefore not only tax-efficient, but also fully compliant with applicable legislation and practice.

After your approval, we proceed with the implementation of the proposed solution. We follow a previously agreed plan and communicate closely with you throughout the entire process so that every step is coordinated and under control.

Review and ongoing support

Our cooperation does not end with implementation. We verify that the adopted solution has delivered the expected results and remain available for further support. Since we already know your situation in detail, we can respond to future questions more quickly, accurately, and effectively.

Tax Strategy

Tax strategy represents an effective form of tax optimization. Unlike situations where it is necessary to deal with the consequences of unsuitable decisions from the past, this is a proactive approach based on proper planning of the tax aspects of business.

It is a systematic management of the tax burden in accordance with applicable legislation and the company’s long-term goals.

Our team of experts analyzes the current situation of your company – its financial result, cost structure, financial indicators, and internal processes. Based on this analysis and in cooperation with the company’s management, we prepare a solution that takes into account both current opportunities and the future development of the business.

The result is a clear, legal, and effectively structured tax strategy that brings greater predictability and an optimized tax burden.

The program is intended for:
  • companies with profits from €200,000 to €500,000
  • entrepreneurs who want to keep their tax setup
  • under control
  • companies that want to systematically reduce their tax burden
What you can expect:
  • identification of unused optimization opportunities
  • proposal of legal and defensible solutions
  • potential reduction of the tax burden by up to 50%
  • depending on the individual situation
I want to pay 50% lower taxes

Express Tax Return

Is March 31 approaching and you still have not filed your tax return? Did your accountant stop cooperating with you shortly before the tax return filing deadline? Is the calculated income tax too high and your accounting in poor condition?

We will prepare your tax return on an express basis so that you can meet your tax obligation on time. If necessary, we will also prepare a reconstruction of your accounting.

Tax Breakfasts

We regularly organize professional events where we share practical experience and up-to-date information in the fields of tax, law, and business with representatives of Slovak companies.

The best-known format is our Tax Breakfasts, which the business community has particularly appreciated for their practical focus. In a pleasant breakfast setting, you receive concise, clear, and immediately applicable information for your business.

We focus on specific solutions and practical context, not on theoretical explanations of legislation. Participants therefore often leave with insights that can save substantial financial resources in practice.

However, the most valuable part often comes after the presentations end. During informal discussion, you have the opportunity to speak with our tax advisors and attorneys about specific situations you face in your business.

FAQ – Tax Advisory

How is income from rentals and short-term accommodation taxed in Slovakia?

Taxation depends on whether the rental represents so-called passive income and is not connected with providing any additional services, or whether the activity meets the characteristics of a business activity. The differences relate to social contributions, deductible expenses, and administration. Proper assessment and setup of the regime can significantly affect the final tax liability.

What is the difference between registration under §4 and §7a of the VAT Act?

§4 means full VAT payer registration, while §7a is a registration obligation arising for non-VAT payers in connection with receiving and providing services within the EU. Each type of VAT registration involves different obligations and rights, as well as further impacts on cash flow and business costs.

Is it better to operate as a sole trader or through a limited liability company?

A sole trade has simpler administration, while a limited liability company provides greater asset protection and flexibility for optimization. The best choice depends on turnover, risk level, and business plans. The suitable form also depends on business goals, and from a tax perspective the advantage changes at a certain income level.

How does representation during a tax audit work?

It is a process involving communication with the tax authority, preparation of documents, and professional argumentation. Properly communicated information and guided control can significantly reduce the risk of additional tax assessment by the tax administration.

What are the options for legal tax optimization?

There are several options – from proper expense setup, through business structure, to the use of exemptions. However, each case requires individual consideration and assessment.

How are investments and cryptocurrencies taxed?

Taxation depends on the type of investment, holding period, and trading method. For cryptocurrencies, it is essential to have the correct methodology for records and calculations.

How does leasing intellectual property work from a tax perspective?

Income from intellectual property, usually in the form of royalties, has specific taxation rules and may form part of a broader optimization structure. It is important to identify the appropriate “asset” and properly set contractual relationships.

What does setting up a holding structure mean?

A holding allows more efficient company management, asset protection, and optimization of taxation on dividends or share sales. However, each structure must be based on a real economic substance.

When is the sale of real estate exempt from tax?

The exemption depends on the ownership period and the manner in which the property was used before sale. When transferring property owned by a natural person for less than 5 years, tax often applies, but there are exceptions and optimization options.

How are dividends taxed?

Dividends may be subject to withholding tax or health contributions, depending on the accounting period in which the distributing company generated the profit, as well as to whom they are paid. Proper timing or redirection may reduce the overall tax burden.

How should an invoice to a foreign country be issued correctly?

It depends on whether you invoice within the EU or outside it, and whether you are a VAT payer. An incorrectly issued invoice may lead to penalties or additional obligations.

What are the basic tax obligations of companies in Slovakia?

Every company must keep accounting records, file tax returns, fulfill VAT obligations, and communicate with the tax authority. For foreign owners, the biggest challenge is often navigating Slovak legislation.

What is transfer pricing and when do I need it?

It is the obligation to document prices between related parties. Documentation and benchmarking protect the company from the risk of additional tax assessment.

Is it better to distribute profit or transfer profit to another limited liability company?

Both options have different tax impacts. The optimal solution depends on the owners’ plans and the group structure.

How does tax return preparation or correction of an already filed return work?

Preparation and completion of a tax return require complete documentation and knowledge of current legislation. For corrections, it is important to choose the right procedure to avoid unnecessary penalties.
