Why Slovakia?

Due to a strong industrial tradition and a long-standing focus on technical skills, the automotive industry and related sectors such as mechanical engineering and electronics production currently hold a dominant position in the Slovakian economy. In addition to these traditional industries, new economic sectors such as ICT and shared service centres are becoming increasingly important.

Each Slovak region has different comparative advantages, which can be the key to the successful realisation of an investor project. Global Business Recruiting is able to provide comprehensive analyses based on a standard commuting area of any pre-selected location. These analyses include: demographic data, unemployment information, student and graduate school and university headcounts, an overview of the largest industrial employers in a region, and other data based on investor requirements.

What needs to be considered when outsourcing to Slovakia?

EU legal framework & GDPR

As an EU member state, Slovakia is subject to EU internal market law. GDPR, data protection and contract law apply as in Germany - which makes outsourcing projects legally simple and secure. Global Business Recruiting draws up all contracts in accordance with German and Slovakian law.

Tax & VAT

For cross-border services within the EU, the reverse charge procedure generally applies for VAT. Corporate income tax and local taxes in Slovakia must be taken into account. Tax advice in individual cases is recommended.

Contract design

Outsourcing contracts must clearly define the scope of services, quality standards, duration, cancellation modalities and liability regulations. In the case of contracts for work and services, the subcontractor owes a concrete result - this protects against unclear responsibilities.

Utilising investment incentives

The Slovakian government offers investment incentives for foreign companies - tax benefits, subsidies and infrastructure support. As a SARIO partner, Global Business Recruiting knows the current programmes and can help you make the most of them.

Labour law Slovakia

Slovakian labour law regulates working hours, holidays, notice periods and minimum wages. Slovakian regulations apply when hiring local employees. Global Business Recruiting advises on the relevant regulations and ensures compliant contract structures.
