What you need to consider if relocating to Slovakia
A long-term stay in a country for more than 183 days will usually (and automatically lead) to an unlimited tax liability for your world income. Some countries go even further and already assign this tax liability if you can permanently use your apartment (this can even be the room in your parent’s house or a regularly visited hotel), which you can access with your keys – known as “Schlüsselgewalt” in German-speaking countries. This rule establishes or maintains an unlimited Tax liability for your world income. If this subject interests you, you may learn more about it on our dedicated website for Taxation.
The often cited and, in general, used “183-Days-Rule” is not entirely correct. It can only be used to a limited extent, as few countries (Germany) consider a personal tax liability if one spends more than 183 days within the country in two consecutive years spanning two tax periods.
One can, therefore, only advise that people interested in relocating their place of residence not to rely on start-up agencies and other jokers – the pitfalls are too great, and sound advice is required. A few advisors (specialized lawyers, accountants) have studied tax law for years, and others do a weekend seminar or attend Google University – where do you feel better off?
What’s on offer on the internet is sometimes unbelievable. There is no point in having no tax residency/residence anywhere. If in doubt, you never gave up your original tax liability (in your country of birth) or are automatically subject to tax through your passport.
If you have plans to form a company in Slovakia, you may also want to discuss a relocation.
TOP Jurisdiction for EU Residence in Central-Europe
Slovakia, however, offers ideal conditions for a tax residence. To obtain a tax residence, one needs to stay more than 183 days in Slovakia. With close links to other European countries, good flight connections, and travel times of roughly two hours into the center of Europe, Slovakia is an ideal place to conduct business of any kind.
Of course, you cannot stay in any other (EU) country for more than 183 days, which would trigger an unlimited tax liability there. This concept is, therefore, not ideal for everyone who can live and work flexibly (e.g., digital nomads) and wants to stay abroad for several months in a calendar year.
You can rely on well-founded and legally sound advice if you come to us. Together, we will find your ideal life concept.
