In the manual for completing statement no. 2, which is available online at www.neprepustaj.sk<\/a> (Slovak only), revenues are defined as a part of income. Revenues are financial income received from the sale of a product, the rental of land, buildings, equipment and the like. \u00a0For natural persons, revenues are considered that income that is actually received or paid, and therefore that which is reported in single-entry bookkeeping or in the income records in the financial ledger or a natural person.<\/p>\n

The term revenue is not defined as it is in the Government Regulation on Defining a Decrease in Revenues, as published under \u00a7293ew (2)(a) of Act No. 461\/2003 Coll. on Social Insurance, as amended by Act No. 68\/2020 Coll., and is therefore only used to define the decrease in revenues for the purposes of a request to defer insurance contributions on behalf of an employer and sole proprietor.<\/p>\n

We expect that a revenue for the purposes of providing this contribution should only be understood as revenues\/income from the sale of goods and services, also known as \u201cnet turnover\u201d<\/strong> as defined in \u00a72 (15) of Act No. 431\/2002 Coll. on Accounting.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll provide additional information clarifying these legislative inaccuracies in terms of the definition of revenues for providing the contributions under Measures 2, 3a and 3b.<\/p>\n
