Slovak Government Proposes Business Deregulation Measures, Companies Want More

The Slovak government has announced plans to reduce bureaucratic burdens on businesses by streamlining paperwork requirements for waste management and workplace safety regulations. The deregulation initiative aims to make it easier for companies to operate in Slovakia by cutting administrative procedures. However, business representatives say the proposed measures do not go far enough, with entrepreneurs particularly critical that the government has not included plans to eliminate the transaction tax. The business community argues that removing this tax would provide more meaningful relief than the administrative simplifications currently being offered.
