The Czech Ministry of Finance announced a draft bill to amend the VAT Act to align with EU law and reflect practical knowledge and case law.
Key measures in the bill include:
- Small businesses in other EU countries with turnover under 2 million Czech korunas per calendar year won’t be considered VAT payers in the Czech Republic, and vice versa for small Czech businesses in other EU countries.
- Businesses exceeding 2 million korunas in turnover during the year will become VAT payers from January 1 of the following calendar year, and immediately if turnover in the EU exceeds 100,000 euros.
- The period for calculating the 2 million koruna threshold will change to a calendar year from 12 consecutive calendar months.
- Clarifications will be made regarding the application of reduced VAT rates to construction works, expanding options for bad debt, and refunding VAT in cases of unjust enrichment.
