SlovakiaInternational Law
Starting July 1, 1996 all 860 goods subject to certification in Slovakia must be marked with a Slovak certificate. There will be 3 types of certificates graded for quality. The producer or the importer will be responsible for the marking.

Fines for breaking the rule are a minimum of Sk 100,000 + 10% of sales.

The EU and Slovakia do not have an agreement regarding mutual acceptance of the certificates. The SR does not accept Czech certificates; however, it accepts the results of the Czech Test Office as a base for providing goods with Slovak certificates.

Structures involving Dutch or Luxembourg companies are commonly used for inbound investments in the Slovak Republic. An important reason for this is the extensive double tax treaty network of both countries eliminating or reducing withholding taxes on interest paid from Slovakia as well as the domestic participation exemption on dividends and capital gains enabling a tax free exit from investments in Slovak companies.
