It is no secret that now many entrepreneurs are interested in the details of the changes that will occur in the legislative base of Slovakia in the near future (from October 1 of this year - amendments to the Economic Code, and, possibly, from May 1, 2021 - to the Law "On Entrepreneurship") ... On this occasion, I can now briefly bring some clarity:
At the moment, in Slovakia, at the stage of interdepartmental consideration, there is a bill that will amend the Law No. 455/1991 "On entrepreneurial activity".
Main areas of change:
1) a decrease in the regulatory measure in proving professional suitability in craft types of entrepreneurial activity - the period for confirming professional suitability is reduced.
2) a decrease in the regulatory measure in the confirmation of professional practice for certain licensed types of entrepreneurial activity - the period for confirming professional practice is reduced from ten years to six years.
3) a decrease in the regulatory measure in confirming a professional internship for some licensed types of entrepreneurial activity - the period for confirming a professional internship is reduced from two years to one year.
4) a decrease in the number of craft and licensed types of entrepreneurial activity. For example, handicrafts, such as metal electroplating and enameling, and licensed ones, such as teaching foreign languages and translation services, will become free activities from 01/05/2021.
5) in connection with the entry into force of the amendments to the Economic Code from 01.10.2020, there is a correction in the Law on Entrepreneurship - the provisions on the issuance and entry into force of a certificate of entrepreneurial activity (živnostenskeho osvedčenia) to individuals with a place of residence in the country , which is not a member of the European Union and is not a country of the Organization for Trade Cooperation and Development, which do not have an issued residence permit in the territory of the Slovak Republic. These persons will be issued a certificate of entrepreneurial activity, and accordingly they will be allowed to engage in entrepreneurial activity only after obtaining a residence permit in the territory of the Slovak Republic.
There is an important note to this point - ALSO in the draft amendments it is mentioned that it will be necessary to amend the Law No. 404/2011 "On the Residence of Foreigners".
6) correction of the maximum and minimum term of entrepreneurial activity: the minimum term is reduced from six months by one month, and the maximum term is increased from three years to four years.
7) the person in charge / representative (zodpovedny zastupca - in licensed activities) is given the opportunity to notify the end of his function, if he simultaneously provides confirmation that he has knowingly notified the entrepreneur of the end of his function.
😎 the period for notification of the establishment of prevádzkarne ("production plant" - meaning, for example, a pastry shop, pizzeria, etc.) is extended.
It is planned that amendments to the Law "On Entrepreneurial Activity" will come into force from 01.05.2021.
Well, we look forward to October 1 and new realities with enthusiasm).
