Frequently asked questions

Do I declare my Austrian salary in Slovakia?

If you are a Slovak tax resident, usually yes. Double taxation is avoided by the method in the treaty with the state where you work.

Where do I pay health and social insurance?

Within the EU in one state only, usually where you work. Special rules of Regulation 883/2004 apply when you work in several states.

My UK company pays tax in the UK. Do I need to do anything in Slovakia?

If it is managed from Slovakia, it can be a Slovak tax resident. It then has obligations in Slovakia too and credits the UK tax.

I am moving abroad. Do I stop being a Slovak resident?

It depends on whether you keep permanent residence, a home or your centre of vital interests here. The change must be evidenced.

What about a US LLC?

It is assessed whether the LLC is a separate entity for Slovak purposes or its income is attributed directly to you. The outcome affects obligations in both Slovakia and the US.
