Tax Advisors Report Undercover Detection of Fictitious Self-Employed Workers

Tax authorities are conducting covert operations to identify fictitious self-employed workers in Slovakia, according to tax advisors. The practice of establishing fake self-employment businesses has become a common solution for many families seeking to reduce their tax burden. These so-called "family limited liability companies" allow individuals to officially register as entrepreneurs while continuing to work as employees, enabling them to pay lower social contributions and taxes. Slovak tax authorities have intensified efforts to uncover these arrangements, which blur the line between legitimate self-employment and tax evasion, conducting investigations without prior notice to catch violators.
