Does this apply to you?
Do you need to register in Czech Republic?
As soon as one of these situations applies to you, a local VAT number becomes mandatory — often even without a physical presence on site.
-
You store goods on site
Warehouse, logistics provider (3PL) or Amazon FBA stock in Czech Republic: registration is due from the moment you hold stock, even before your first sale.
-
Your distance sales exceed €10,000
Above the European threshold of €10,000 in B2C distance sales, if you have not opted for the OSS one-stop shop.
-
You import goods
You bring goods into Czech Republic to resell, store or process them.
-
You carry out intra-Community transactions
Acquisitions or supplies of goods from or to Czech Republic as part of intra-EU trade.
-
You sell to private individuals on site
Direct sales to private customers located in Czech Republic, where no reverse-charge mechanism applies.
-
You provide locally-supplied services
Services connected to immovable property, or a service linked to a trade fair or event held on site.
A single situation is enough — we register you in Czech Republic, and across Europe.
Good to know: the OSS one-stop shop only covers B2C distance sales. As soon as you hold stock on site, a local VAT number remains mandatory — even with OSS enabled.
Agent or fiscal representative?
Do you need a fiscal representative?
It all depends on where your company is established. Either way, Eurofiscalis handles all of your obligations in Czech Republic from start to finish.
Representative not required
Good news: in most cases, an EU company does not need a fiscal representative in Czech Republic. But your VAT obligations remain — registration, invoicing, returns.
- We act as your tax agent: registration, returns and deadlines handled from A to Z.
- You stay in control of your file, with no joint liability.
- A single English-speaking contact for all your compliance in Czech Republic.
Fiscal representative required
A non-EU company generally has to appoint a locally-established fiscal representative, often jointly liable for the VAT debt.
- Eurofiscalis takes on this official role and manages all your returns.
- We answer for your compliance before the tax authorities.
- You run your business, we carry the fiscal liability.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know about fiscal representation in Czech Republic.
What is a tax representative in the Czech Republic?
A tax representative in the Czech Republic is an accredited VAT expert who manages all your tax obligations: VAT registration (DPH), monthly or quarterly VAT returns (VAT Control Statement), administrative compliance and representation with the Czech tax authority (Finanční správa) in Prague. They take on liability before the Czech tax authorities.
When do I need a tax representative in the Czech Republic?
You need a tax representative in the Czech Republic if your foreign business:
- Is established outside the European Union (mandatory representation from 2026).
- Carries out taxable operations in the Czech Republic (import, export, sales, storage, services).
- Stores goods on Czech territory.
- Makes intra-Community supplies from the Czech Republic.
- Requires a Czech VAT refund claim.
- Must meet tax obligations with regular VAT returns.
How long does Czech VAT registration take?
Obtaining a Czech intra-EU VAT number (CZ) from the tax authority in Prague takes approximately 40 days (4-6 weeks) with our tax representation service. Our VAT experts speed up the process thanks to their expertise and direct contact with the Czech tax authority (Finanční úřad pro Prahu 1).
What is the difference between a tax representative and a fiscal agent?
- Tax representative: takes on liability before the Czech tax authority (mandatory for foreign businesses outside the EU from 2026).
- Fiscal agent: acts on behalf of your company without personal liability (possible for European Union businesses).
A registration form is required to appoint a fiscal agent in the Czech Republic.
What are the tax obligations for taxable operations in the Czech Republic?
Czech tax obligations apply to all taxable operations:
- VAT returns via monthly or quarterly VAT Control Statement.
- Application of the 21% VAT rate (standard) or 12% (reduced) depending on the taxable operations.
- EC Sales List for intra-Community supplies.
- Intrastat for imports and exports exceeding the thresholds.
- VAT refund claims according to the tax authority procedure.
- Filing returns before the 25th of each month for tax compliance.
How to file VAT returns in the Czech Republic with the VAT Control Statement?
VAT returns in the Czech Republic are filed via the VAT Control Statement system with the tax authority:
- Monthly: for monthly VAT returns (foreign businesses with a tax representative).
- Quarterly: for businesses with turnover < CZK 10,000,000 after 3 years of registration.
- Deadline: filing returns before the 25th of each month.
- Format: electronic filing required by the Ministry of Finance.
- VAT compliance: our fiscal agent masters the VAT Control Statement system for your foreign business.
What is the role of the Czech tax authority?
The Czech tax authority (Finanční správa and Ministerstvo financí) controls:
- VAT registration of foreign businesses in the Czech Republic.
- Validation of intra-EU VAT numbers (CZ format).
- Tax compliance and adherence to tax obligations.
- Filing of VAT returns (VAT Control Statement) by the 25th of each month.
- VAT refund claims for taxable operations.
- Application of penalties for non-compliance (up to CZK 300,000 or 5% of VAT due).
What are the VAT rates in the Czech Republic?
The Czech VAT rate (DPH) varies depending on the taxable operations:
- 21%: standard rate for most goods and services (normal VAT rate).
- 12%: reduced rate for certain products (food, non-alcoholic beverages, medicines).
- Strict application required for your tax compliance with the Czech authority.
What is the VAT Control Statement?
The VAT Control Statement is the mandatory VAT control return in the Czech Republic. It allows your fiscal agent to:
- Manage your VAT registration with the tax authority.
- File VAT returns on your behalf.
- Represent your foreign business before the Czech tax authority in Prague.
- Ensure your tax compliance for all your tax obligations in the Czech Republic.
- Declare all domestic and intra-Community taxable operations.
What are the penalties for VAT non-compliance?
The Czech tax authority imposes strict penalties for tax non-compliance:
- Late VAT return: fine up to CZK 300,000 (approx. €12,000) or 5% of VAT due.
- Late VAT payment: late interest on unpaid amounts.
- Failure to meet the 25th of the month deadline: automatic penalties for late filing of returns.
- VAT Control Statement errors: fine for errors in the control return.
- From 2026: obligation to appoint an accredited agent, failing which daily fines of CZK 1,000 apply.
Our guaranteed VAT compliance protects you from these penalties.
