VAT in the health care sector as of 1 April 2012

The General Financial Directorate (“GFD”) published information concerning the application of VAT in the health care sector starting 1 April 2012. The GFD specifies tax-exempt supplies and supplies to which reduced or basic tax rates apply in connection with the adoption of the Health Care Services Act and related acts[1].

Starting 1 April 2012, supplies constituting a health care service pursuant to the Health Care Services Act which are delivered by a duly licensed health care services provider and aimed at treating or protecting human health will be considered as tax exempt. To determine whether a supply is tax exempt, the purpose and target of the services shall be decisive. Examples of tax exempt and non-tax exempt supplies have been provided by the GFD. The GFD also emphasized that the method of payment for the services shall no longer be decisive for determining whether a specific supply is tax exempt or not.

[1] Act No. 372/2011, Coll., on Health Care Services, Act No. 373/2011, Coll., on Specific Health Care Services and Act No. 374/2011, Coll., on Health Care Rescue Service

Kyberbezpečnost nově: tisíce firem čekají nové povinnosti. Iniciativa je plně na podnikateli.

Od 1. listopadu 2025 čeká tisíce firem v České republice napříč různými odvětvími zásadní změna v oblasti kybernetické regulace. Nový zákon o kybernetické bezpečnosti spolu s řadou doprovodných právních předpisů totiž výrazně rozšiřuje okruh subjektů, na které bude dopadat. Cílem regulace je zvýšit odolnost technické infrastruktury vůči kybernetickým hrozbám. Místo úzkého okruhu pouze klíčových institucí se nová pravidla budou vztahovat na široké spektrum firem a organizací, které poskytují tzv. regulované služby. Jde o služby zásadní pro fungování společnosti a státu, jejichž narušení či výpadek by mohly mít negativní dopady na bezpečnost státu, ekonomickou stabilitu a každodenní chod společnosti.
