The expert conference Real Estate Forum – Autumn 2024, which attracted leading experts from the field of real estate and development in Slovakia, is successfully behind us.
It has traditionally enjoyed great interest because it brings together experts in the field of real estate and real estate development, and thus brings unique opportunities to discuss current trends, challenges and predictions that will affect the real estate market in the coming period. The focus was, among other things, on various areas of development and legal framework that shape the environment of the Slovak real estate business.
The discussion was divided into four thematic panels:
- Office development – workplace strategy
Changes in office space strategies based on new requirements and trends in the work environment are discussed. - New Construction Act
Important legislative changes that will be brought about by the forthcoming Construction Act and the impact it will have on the development sector were presented. - Residential development
This panel focused on developments and challenges in the housing sector, particularly with regard to the current market situation and expected trends. - Tax and law
The fourth panel offered valuable insights on the tax and legal aspects facing the real estate market.
It was in this last one that our Senior Tax Manager, Michaela Firická, had the honour to speak as one of the lecturers with topics that resonate with all those who do business in the real estate business:
- Comparison of a real estate transfer and a real estate company from a tax pointof view
Miška provided an insightful look into the tax differences of real estate transfers versus real estate companies, an important issue for many developers and investors. - Identifying red flags when buying real estate companies
She highlighted potential tax risks and warning signs that investors should look out for when acquiring real estate companies.
