Slovnaft will not send tens of millions of euros to the state. It said it has no obligation to pay windfall tax (solidarity tax), and the money will be missing from the budget
The state will not receive the money for the budget that it had already counted on. The Bratislava refinery Slovnaft will not send 180 million euros.

This concerns the windfall tax (so-called solidarity tax) on excess profits. The refinery claims it has no obligation to pay this tax. Even the Ministry of Finance was unable to predict what Slovnaft’s final revenues would be..
