Slovakia in brief
More cars per head than anywhere on Earth - priced in euros.
Slovakia builds more cars per capita than any country in the world - Volkswagen, Kia, Stellantis and Jaguar Land Rover assemble here, with Volvo's new plant joining the map - and that cluster feeds a supplier economy any manufacturer can plug into. Unlike its Czech twin, Slovakia joined the eurozone back in 2009: contracts, payroll and treasury run in actual euros. Bratislava sits forty minutes from Vienna, Košice anchors the IT-services east, and the s.r.o. registers with €5,000 capital through electronic court filings.
We quote the 2025 consolidation plainly, because Slovak planning now lives on current law: standard corporate tax is 21%, taxpayers with taxable revenue up to €100,000 pay 10%, those above €5 million pay 24% - and dividends to individuals settled back at 7%, one of the EU's friendlier exit rates. VAT rose to 23%, and the new financial-transaction tax (0.4% on outgoing payments, capped per transaction) adds a line every cash-flow model should carry. Banks (Slovenská sporiteľňa/Erste, VÚB/Intesa, Tatra/Raiffeisen) run euro-native group compliance. For manufacturing, CE trade, and euro-treasury businesses, the flag earns its keep - and we model the new levies before you commit.

Talk to a specialist →FAQ
Company registration in Slovakia, answered.
Can I open a firm in Slovakia without visiting?+
Yes. Everything runs through our lawyers and the business register's electronic filing; you sign a power of attorney, and most companies are established within three weeks.
What does firm registration in Slovakia cost?+
Company registration in Slovakia starts from €1,900, including founding documents, the trade licence, business-register filing, tax registration and the first year of the registered address. A company with a Slovak bank account starts from €3,400.
What taxes will the company pay?+
Standard corporate tax is 21%; taxpayers with taxable revenue up to €100,000 pay 10%, and those above €5 million pay 24%. Dividends to individuals are 7%, VAT is 23%, and the transaction tax applies to outgoing payments.
What is the transaction tax, honestly?+
The financial-transaction tax is 0.4% on outgoing payments, capped per transaction, with a higher charge on cash. It rewards fewer, larger payments and must be included in the cash-flow model.
Why start a business in Slovakia rather than Czechia?+
Slovakia offers the euro, a 7% individual dividend rate, and the automotive cluster. Czechia has faster courts but uses the koruna; the choice depends on whether the euro treasury and the Slovak supplier base matter.
How big is the automotive economy really?+
Slovakia produces more cars per capita than any other country. Volkswagen, Kia, Stellantis and Jaguar Land Rover assemble there; Volvo is joining, and the cluster supports a dense supplier economy.
How does the €5,000 capital work?+
The minimum capital is €5,000, with contributions of at least €750 each. A paid-up declaration replaces a bank deposit.
How is banking?+
Major options include Slovenská sporiteľňa, VÚB, and Tatra banka. A company-and-account package starts from €3,400, and bank onboarding normally takes 1-2 weeks.
Slovakia or Hungary?+
Hungary has a 9% headline rate plus HIPA; Slovakia has 21% standard tax, 10% for small taxpayers, 7% dividends to individuals, and the euro. Hungary wins on the headline rate, while Slovakia's advantages are the euro treasury and the automotive cluster.
How long does it take to register a company in Slovakia?+
Company registration in Slovakia takes 1-3 weeks. The business-register filing normally takes 5-10 days; bank onboarding takes 1-2 weeks.
