A tax dispute in Slovakia does not begin in court. It begins with a letter from the tax office announcing a tax audit, then moves through the tax assessment, an appeal and an administrative action, and can end with a cassation complaint before the Supreme Administrative Court. Each stage has its own rules and its own deadline. Whatever is missed early on is hard to add later, because the courts mainly review what is already on file.

This page gives you an overview of the whole route, with links to each stage. As a law firm, we treat a tax dispute as a legal dispute: we analyse the file, draft submissions, appeals and court actions, and deal with the tax authority on your behalf. On accounting or transfer pricing questions we work alongside your tax adviser and accountant. If criminal proceedings open next to the tax case, we coordinate both.
