Slovak Parliament Moves to Reduce Tax Burden on Low-Income Self-Employed

Slovak lawmakers have introduced legislation to reduce the tax burden on low-income self-employed individuals by eliminating their requirement to pay micro-levy contributions. The proposal was submitted by five members of parliament from the ruling coalition: Roman Michelko and Dagmar Kramplová from the Slovak National Party (SNS), along with Jozef Cech, Paula Puškárová, and Zdenka Mačicová from Voice-Social Democracy (Hlas-SD). The measure specifically targets self-employed persons with company status (SZČO) who earn lower incomes, aiming to ease their financial obligations. Both SNS and Hlas-SD are part of Slovakia's current governing coalition, which has been focusing on various economic relief measures for small businesses and individual entrepreneurs.
