Growing, Modernizing Slovakia to Host Bush-Putin Summit
How has Slovakia gone from being a poor Soviet satellite state to a growing, lively economy? "[L]ast year Slovakia dropped corporate income personal tax rate to 19%, we implemented flat tax and we have also one VAT rate. The result is that we have more entrepreneurs and also the state budget was fulfilled [...] A year ago, it took almost three months in this country just to register a new business. Currently, it is since February last year, every new business has to be registered in 5 days." Entrepreneurialism: It's the closest thing to money for nothing.
