Andrej Kiska

Andrej Kiska born 2 February 1963 in Poprad, is a Slovak politician, entrepreneur, writer and philanthropist who was President of Slovakia from 2014 to 2019. In 1990, after the Velvet Revolution, he moved to the United States. Later he founded Triangel and Quatro,[8] two Slovakia-based hire-purchase companies that give the buyer the possibility to pay for goods in several installments over a number of months instead of paying the full price at once. Tax authorities accused his co-owned company KTAG (with his brother Jaroslav) of tax non-compliance and under-payments, regarding expenses for his presidential campaign. The company eventually agreed to pay the taxes and a penalty. Andrej Kiska\'s companies were involved in a number of tax-non compliance issues. Unproperly reported income from various business activities resulted in a smaller VAT and Income tax payments. In his personal tax filing he did not disclose personal propagation before elections performed by his company as a non-cash income, but claimed that he paid for it. Eventually tax office confirmed he did not pay, did not report non-cash income, and his company did not report income from propagation activities but fully deducted all VAT. Remaining costs additionally decreased tax base. Kiska announced on 15 May 2018 that he will not participate in 2019 presidential election. At the time Kiska made the announcement, polls indicated that he was Slovakia\'s most trusted politician and that he would have likely been the frontrunner in the election had he chosen to present himself as a candidate.[
