Tax optimization for IT companies

V Highgate Group we strive to continually improve and modernise the content and form of our services, which includes tax and legal advice for our clients.

Since we have IT companies among our clients, we decided to organize a conference on 24.4.2019 at the Falkensteiner Hotel in Bratislava on the topic tax optimization for Slovak IT companies.

The aim of the conference was to show in a practical way, using our examples from practice, what opportunities tax optimization brings in the IT sector. The content of the conference included a number of interesting topics presented by partners and tax experts Peter Varga and attorneys Tomáš Dem and Lukáš Makaro. We discussed what options exist for more advantageous taxation of software income (Patent box) not only for established but also start-up IT companies, how the super deduction works and what are the current trends in the optimization of operating profits. In the first part of the conference, we also discussed how to set up taxes and levies for employee shares and what tax risks should be considered when selling a company/investor entry.

We managed to put together a great discussion panel consisting of Peter Fusek (COO Instarea), Grigor Ayrumyan (CEO WEZEO) and Ivan Melay (Head of Central Europe BENDURA BANK AG) whose members talked about their practical experience with tax optimization in their IT companies.
