Legal Services and Protection in Czech Republic

Introduction: Why the Czech Republic Is a Key Jurisdiction for Business

COREDO has been operating in the Czech Republic since 2016, supporting international companies with business incorporation, licensing, MiCA/CASP, corporate structuring, and legal protection.

Specifics of Doing Business in the Czech Republic

Taxation

The Czech corporate income tax rate is 21%. VAT applies at 21% and a reduced 12% rate; VAT registration is mandatory once annual turnover exceeds CZK 2 million. Employer social contributions equal 33.8% of payroll. Capital gains are taxed at 21%. Tax optimisation tools are available within the EU legal framework.

Licensing

A trade licence (živnostenský list) is required for business activity. Financial companies, EMIs/PSPs, and CASPs under MiCA are licensed by the Czech National Bank (ČNB). Since 2025, Digital Finance Act No. 31/2025 applies to crypto service providers. AML supervision is carried out by FAÚ.

Reporting Obligations

Annual financial statements must be filed by 31 March and published in the Commercial Register. Failure to file may result in penalties of up to 3% of company assets. From 2026, the UMER unified monthly employer reporting system applies, while the new NIS2 cybersecurity law has been effective since November 2025.
