National Authority responsible for MiCA in Czechia
The National Competent Authority (NCA) for the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) implementation in the Czech Republic is the Czech National Bank (CNB). The CNB will receive licensing applications and notifications based on the MiCA requirements and the country’s domestic draft Act on the Digitalisation of the Financial Market.
How much time do you have to apply for a CASP MiCA license in the Czech Republic?
Crypto-asset service providers authorized in the Czech Republic before 30 December 2024 have the right to continue their operations until 1 July 2026. This is the so-called MiCA grandfathering right in Czechia. It only covers those entities that submit an application for CASP authorization by 31 July 2025.
How to incorporate a MiCA company in Czechia
Prior to obtaining your CASP authorization in the country, you must incorporate a Limited Liability Company (s.r.o) in the Czech Republic. The process requires a basic set of documents and a legal address of the company in Czechia.
The whole incorporation procedure can be conducted remotely with the assistance of our lawyers.
Taxes for CASP companies in the Czech Republic
All registered CASPs in Czechia will be subject to a local corporate income tax (CIT), which is currently at 21%. A special CIT of 15% applies to dividends that resident entities receive from non-resident entities.

About the CASP (MiCA) License in the Czech Republic
The cost of the CASP license in Czechia depends on the license class, corporate structure, and other key attributes of your company. If we are to estimate the cost based on the starting share capital requirement for each class, it will be EUR 50,000 for Class 1, EUR 125,000 for Class 2, and EUR 150,000 for Class 3. For more information and the exact cost estimation for your company, we highly recommend contacting our lawyers.
When talking about the timeframe for the full CASP licensing in the Czech Republic, we must differentiate between the company incorporation process and license obtainment itself. Czechia is known for one of the fastest company formation procedures in the EU, with up to a month provided that all documents are present and validated. Securing a CASP license might take an extra 1-2 months, depending on the workload of the regulator.
In order to obtain CASP authorisation in Czechia, you must form an LLC there and provide a full set of documentation required by the MiCA framework. This process might be challenging, especially for first-time entrepreneurs, which is why we encourage you to contact us for legal assistance and support.
The Czech Republic undoubtedly presents one of the most favorable sets of conditions for crypto businesses. At the same time, the introduction of the MiCA regulation has made the licensing process in the country more sophisticated. Now that there’s still a lot of legal unclarity surrounding the new legislation, having a well-versed lawyer by your side is a must. Contact LegalBison today, and we will provide you with a personal MiCA-expert legal consultant to answer all of your questions.
