Taxes

As of 1.1.2024, some tax discounts for natural persons have been abolished in connection with the adoption of the consolidation package. This applies to the discount for a student (until 31/12/2023: Section 35ba (1) (f) of the Income Tax Act) and the discount for the placement of the child, i.e. school fees (this discount will be applied for the last time in the application for annual tax settlement or in the tax return for the year 2023). The taxpayer discount and the tax advantage for children remain unchanged in 2024.

6.1 Decrease of limit for payment of 23% of the advanced payment on taxes for NP income taxes 

From 1.1.2024, the limit of income from which the employee pays a 23% tax is changing from 4 times the average wage to 3 times the average wage. In 2024, a 23% income tax on income over CZK 131 901 will be paid (in 2023 this limit was CZK 161 296).

The new limits are valid for the 2023 tax return.
