AMBASSADOR WELCOME NOTE 3

Trade between Ireland and is strong and growing. In recent years, Irish exports to the Slovak Republic have been growing by approxi- mately 11% per year, and Slovak exports to Ireland have grown in the same period. In 2017, two-way trade was worth an estimated €381 million. There is a steady increase in the numbers of Irish companies interested in this attractive market, with some also using Slovakia as a base to expand links in the region. Slovak-Irish peo- ple-to-people links are strong, helped by the significant numbers of Slovak citizens who have lived and worked in Ireland. Slovakia’s geographic location, and proximity to transport hubs in a number of neighbouring countries, makes it an attractive market for Irish investors. I am confident the Irish-Slovak Business Di- rectory will be a useful resource for any Irish businesses interested in the Slovak market, as well as Slovak companies looking for partners in the region, and in Ireland. Published for the first time in 2018, it provides an overview of the many businesses and entrepreneurs who make up this vibrant and dynamic relationship. I hope it will contribute to the visibility of the Irish business presence in the Slovak Republic. I would encourage Irish businesses to contact the Embassy. We are also a focal point for the Irish community in Slovakia, and support a range of cultural, sporting and social activities. I am delighted the Embassy has come together with the Irish Government agencies, Enterprise Ireland and Bord Bia, to publish this directory. Together, we are committed to supporting Irish companies and entrepreneurs and to growing the Irish-Slovak business relationship.

YEAR OF ESTABLISHMENT 1992 MARKET OVERVIEW 10 WHY DO BUSINESS IN SLOVAKIA?

Open Economy with Global Investments According to the OECD (www.oecd.org), Slovakia had the second highest share of trade in goods and services on its GDP in the EU in 2016, just behind Ireland. With its central geographic loca- tion, educated workforce and favourable business environment, Slovakia attracted many foreign investors, especially in automotive, electronics and service sectors (www.sario.sk).

Eurozone Slovakia was the first country in Central Europe that introduced the single currency in 2009. Thanks to the adoption of the Euro, companies are now using Slovakia as a hub of their sales functions or as a springboard for business ex- pansion in the region.

High Growth, Low Debt Slovak GDP increased by 3.4% in 2017 and OECD estimates the growth to accelerate to 4.05% in 2018 and 4.53% 2019. Slovakia has one of the low- est general government debt-to-GDP ratios in the EU and also low levels of total household debt (measured as a percentage of net disposable income, OECD). WHY DO BUSINESS IN SLOVAKIA? 11

Opportunities in Automotive Industry Slovakia is the largest producer of cars per capita in the world and 7th largest in EU overall. Jaguar Land Rover invested into a new facility in Slovakia and will manufacture alongside VW, PSA and Kia. There are a number of Tie 1 & 2 automotive suppliers around Slovakia that are always looking for innovation and new business partners.

Opportunities in Business Support Centres Slovakia hosts one of the most important clusters of Business Service Centres in Central Europe. More than 60 centres now employ over 35,000 people. Companies such as IBM, Dell, AT&T or T-Systems are always looking for solutions that add value or save costs of their HR, financial or sales functions.

Easy Access There are daily direct flights from Dublin to Bratislava. A very good road and railway network plus an excellent public transport system can get you anywhere around Slovakia. Bratislava is a very convenient entry point to central Europe due to its location which lies near the Slovak with , and the . 12 WHY DO BUSINESS IN SLOVAKIA?

WHY DO BUSINESS IN SLOVAKIA? 13

Business Environment in Slovakia

Slovak commercial law provides various op- tions for the structure of business entities in Slovakia, all of which (excluding trade busi- ness) require registration with the relevant Commercial Register:

• Trade Business;

• General or Limited Partnership; SOURCE KPMG Slovakia, • Co-operative; www.kpmg.sk • Limited Liability Company; • Simple Joint-Stock Company and Joint-Stock Company; • Enterprise or Organizational branch of a for- eign company; • European Company, European Cooperative Society and European Economic Interest Group.

Generally, foreigners can conduct business in Slovakia under the same conditions and to the same extent as Slovak citizens.

Foreigners can therefore establish a Slovak legal entity and can become a sole partner or a member/shareholder of any legal entity. 14 WHY DO BUSINESS IN SLOVAKIA?

Legal entities that are seated in Slovakia or which place of effective management is seat- ed in Slovakia are generally regarded as tax resident and liable to pay Slovak corporate income tax. A taxpayer should register with the tax authorities by the end of the month follow- ing the month in which permission to conduct business in Slovakia was obtained. The Slovak tax system comprises of the following taxes:

• Income taxes (personal income tax, corporate income tax); • Value added tax (VAT); • Excise duties; • Motor vehicle tax; • Municipal taxes (including real estate tax); • Special levy for regulated entities; • Bank tax. Inheritance and gift tax was abolished with effect from January 1, 2004. Real estate transfer tax was abolished with effect from January 1, 2005. €381 million Daily flights
