The Slovak government has approved an amendment to the criminal code in order to increase the efficiency of the fight against extremism as well as a new law against shell companies at its first meeting after the summer holidays on Wednesday (August 17). Reducing income taxes for legal entities to 21% and introducing a tax on dividends were also among the talking points of the session. The ministers also discussed an increase of the TV licence fee, changes in the taxation of tobacco products, as well as possible uses for groceries once they've passed their best-before date.
