Alongside the VAT in the Crypt lecture<a href=\"https:\/\/highgate.sk\/en\/peter-varga-lectured-on-crypt-and-vat-at-the-slovak-chamber-of-tax-advisors\/\">(more information<\/a>), the Patent Box is one of the main topics we regularly cover at Highgate Group.  <br\/><\/p>\n\n<p>The lecture was also attended by <strong>a representative of the Ministry of Finance<\/strong> <strong>of the Slovak Republic<\/strong>, with whom a very interesting and stimulating discussion took place.

So we are very pleased that the Highgate Group can be instrumental in shaping the <strong>interpretations for the Patent Box application.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A year ago, Peter Varga managed to convince a successful SK IT company to relocate from offshore to Slovakia.  <strong>One of the main reasons was the so-called. Patent Box<\/strong>  (i.e. taxation of profits at 10.5% tax rate). Further, if the Patent Box is combined with supertaxation, a successful (not just IT) company may not have to pay taxes for a decade.  <strong>But why do some still want to leave Slovakia?<\/strong> <br\/><\/p>\n\n<p>We deal with clients in the context of legal and tax advice for a variety of reasons. <strong>From the need to diversify legal and practical risks<\/strong>, to the <strong>lack of corporate institutes<\/strong> such as carried interest, redeemable cumulative preference shares or share redemption, to PR\/investor reasons. <strong>If the state aims to incentivise entrepreneurs not to go abroad with their businesses, the Patent Box is certainly a very important incentive element in the complex puzzle. <br\/><\/strong> <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/highgate.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/banner-konzultacia-komplexna-peto-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-230367\" style=\"width:700px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>If you are interested in this topic, please <a href=\"https:\/\/highgate.sk\/en\/contact\/\">do not hesitate to contact us<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slovakia has become a tax haven for IT development companies.
