The main aim is to investigate the perception of tax issues of catering and hospitality businesses in the Slovak Republic, especially the tax system as such, and the framework of specific taxes. The sample meets the conditions of catering and hospitality enterprises' representativeness according to the economic activity and business location in Slovakia.
Tax system’s perception
The strength of the relationship between perception of the overall tax rate and understanding of the flat tax is low. It means that companies that understand a negative flat tax are more likely to estimate the overall tax rate as high.
Conclusion
Catering and hospitality businesses view tax issues as negative, mostly the Value Added Tax, based on analysis results. The effect of the reduction of VAT rate on the decrease of Slovak catering and hospitality services' final consumer price is debatable.

Greening of Economy
Green economy means understanding that the economy depends on the natural world and could not exist without it. Unfortunately, the history of industrial development shows that the environment and natural resources have long been used as invaluable means of economic growth.
