VAT number

Without VAT number

  • Your company will not be eligible to receive VAT refunds, which means everything bought is 21% more expensive (important: B2B payments between two VAT exempt companies are not more expensive)
  • Your company will not have to file monthly tax returns (prerequisite: no one receives a salary), which means low costs

With VAT number

  • The company will be eligible to receive VAT refunds, which means you can make use of the reverse-charge mechanism
  • Monthly tax returns have to be filed, even if no transactions occur
  • Businesses seated in the Czech Republic whose turnover exceeds 1,000,000 CZK (around 39,000 EUR) in any consecutive 12-month period must register as a VAT payer with the tax authorities
Before we help you to apply for a VAT number you should carefully think about the advantages and obligations that go along with it. To register as a VAT payer might be either voluntary or obligatory, depending on the turnover.

Decide first

  1. Do you want to buy a ready-made company or start a new one?
  2. Is your business plan detailed enough to check for a trade license?
  3. What is the planned authorized share capital?
