- In the Czech Republic, entities meeting ownership/management conditions can form a VAT group and be treated as a single VAT taxable person, making intra-group supplies outside the scope of VAT.
- For a VAT group to be effective from 1 January 2027, the registration application must be filed by 31 October 2026; because that date falls on a Saturday, the deadline is extended to 2 November 2026.
- Under current rules, a late VAT group application is ineffective; it no longer automatically takes effect from 1 January of the following year.
- The application must be filed by the designated representative member and must list all intended group members.
- Businesses should assess the impact on input VAT deduction rights, administrative burden, and other practical consequences before registering.
