Parliament approved an amendment to the effective top rate of Income tax, also referred to as "Millionaire tax". Currently, the top rate of personal income tax is 42% (reached where an individual has taxable income of Sk 1,080,000 (approximately US$ 31,000 or more). A tax surcharge shall apply when the tax base of an individual, reduced by tax deductible items, reaches or exceeds amount of Sk 1,080,000.
From 1 April 1998, the tax surcharge is added to the income tax liability, starting at 5% up to a maximum of 30%. The following table summarises how the surcharge will be calculated:
Taxable income (Sk) Tax sur-charge Effective marginal tax rate
Below Sk 1,080,000 Nil Unchanged
Sk 1,080,001 -
Sk 3,240,000 5% 44.1%
Sk 3,240,001 -
Sk 9,720,000 10% 46.2%
Sk 9,720,001 -
Sk 21,600,000 20% 50.4%
Sk 21,600,001
and above 30% 54.6%
The amendment should become effective when published in the Collection of Laws, presumably from 1 April 1998.
