Frequently asked questions

The law does not require you to hire one, but mistakes in the tax return, a wrongly chosen expense method or missed deadlines usually cost more. For foreigners just starting out we recommend going through the first year with an accountant — then you can decide.

Yes. Signing documents, sending receipts and communication are all remote. For some procedures (for example granting authorisation) we use an electronic signature or a notarised power of attorney.

Yes. We work with Czech s.r.o. owned by foreigners and with foreign companies that have obligations in the Czech Republic (VAT registration, trade within the EU).

Usually within a few working days after the contract is signed and we have access to your documents. If a return is urgent, tell us during the consultation.

We reconstruct the books for past periods, file missing returns and negotiate with the tax office. The sooner you come to us, the lower the penalties.

Not necessarily. Documents can be signed at a notary by power of attorney or at a consulate. We will suggest the fastest option for your country.

Yes, a foreigner can be a founder and director of an s.r.o. This does not by itself give you the right to live or work in the Czech Republic — those are separate immigration matters.

The law allows capital from CZK 1. In practice it depends on your activity: banks and partners may expect more, and for some licences it is not critical at all. We will choose an amount during the consultation.

Our fee is on the Prices page. Official fees, the notary and the registered address are paid separately — their total depends on your situation, and we prepare an estimate in advance.

No, registration is mandatory only after exceeding the turnover limit or by voluntary decision. But when working with EU companies you often need at least identified person status — we will go through it during the consultation.

If your turnover over the last 12 months exceeded CZK 2 million — within 15 days after the month in which it was exceeded. If you want to register voluntarily, you can apply at any time.

A VAT payer issues invoices with VAT and reclaims input VAT. An identified person only reports certain EU transactions and cannot reclaim input VAT.

Not always. Often identified person status is enough, or even nothing if you have no transactions subject to Czech VAT. We will check during the consultation.

The tax office charges a late-filing penalty (including per day of delay) and may impose a fine. We set up a calendar so this does not happen.

After filing, the tax office usually responds within a few weeks. We file as quickly and as accurately as possible to avoid follow-up requests.

No. Customs assigns the number free of charge. You only pay for our work preparing and filing the application.

As a rule, no. It is needed when importing and exporting goods across the EU’s external border.

Yes, individuals (including OSVČ) can get an EORI number if their activity involves customs. We will confirm the conditions during the consultation.

The number can be checked in the EOS database on the European Commission’s website. We do the check ourselves and send you the confirmation.

Not always, but for regular shipments a broker speeds up clearance and reduces the risk of errors in declarations. We will find a partner suited to your cargo.

Our fee is on the Prices page. The official fee for the licence is paid separately — about CZK 1,000 for the first licence.

As a rule, no. Business activity requires an appropriate type of stay. We check your document before filing.

If OSVČ is your main activity, you pay minimum monthly contributions. For a secondary activity different rules apply. We will explain how it works in your case.

A simplified regime for small incomes: one fixed monthly payment instead of separate tax and contributions. We will calculate whether it benefits you.

The law does not require it, but for foreigners it reduces the risk of mistakes and penalties. You can also hire an accountant only to file your annual return.

If you are an OSVČ, as a rule yes — including a zero return. We will check your situation.

For individuals — 1 April (paper), 1 May (electronic) and 1 July when filed through a tax adviser. For legal entities the deadlines are similar; the financial statements are handled separately.

Yes, we prepare and file overdue returns and negotiate with the tax office to reduce penalties.

Yes. We take into account tax residence, double tax treaties and credit for tax paid abroad.

Yes, annual reporting is part of the bookkeeping package. For clients without ongoing service, preparing a report is charged separately.
