Slovakia has become a tax haven for innovative companies. The favourable tax regimes of patent box and super deduction can help IT companies to save significantly on taxes.

However, it must be sufficient to satisfy the elements of a qualifying activity for the purposes of the patent box or super deduction.
In every development, some new knowledge must be created. Since neither legal nor tax counsel is qualified to determine whether the taxpayer is actually performing this activity, a technical advisor should be part of the taxpayer’s team. The key is that it really is about science and research.
