Boundaries are blurring and distances are becoming more relative.
IT business is perhaps most affected by the increasing globalisation and positive technological developments.
A Slovak IT company today does not have to limit itself to the small Slovak market at all.
The provision of IT services does not even need to be done from one fixed location.
The online space thus brings new tax issues and challenges.
The aim of the conference is to introduce IT companies to legal and legitimate forms of optimizing their tax burden.
While in 2004, after Miklos’ tax reform, the income tax law had just over 30,000 words, today it is about three times more.
While the number of words in the law may seem like a meaningless statistic at first glance, the more complicated the law is, the more opportunities it provides for tax optimisation.
More words bring more exemptions, more complications and more complexities, which, when set up correctly, can legitimately save taxpayers relevant funds as well as protect assets.
This event is designed not only for established small and medium-sized IT companies, but also for “one-person sops”.
