New balance sheet item
Given the approaching date for compiling financial statements as of 31 December 2013, we would like to bring to your attention the new and crucial provisions of Decree No. 500/2002, Coll., implementing certain provisions of the Accounting Act for entrepreneurs’ accounting units (hereinafter the “Decree”), which took effect on 1 January 2013.
The amendment to the Decree has introduced a new registered capital item A. IV. 3. Other profit/loss from previous years. Under this item, accounting units must show any differences arising from a change in accounting methods, deferred tax accounted for in the first year when deferred tax is accounted, and corrections of significant errors from previous accounting periods.
There is also significant change as related to correcting errors that occurred in previous years and to using a different accounting method than in prior accounting periods. As of 1 January 2013, such corrections or changes must not influence the profit/loss of the current accounting period.
Accounting units must describe changes in accounting methods and errors shown under the relevant item in an annex to the financial statements and also reflect the information in the financial statements so that it is comparable.
Accounting units are to decide on the allocation or settlement of “Other profit/loss from previous years” when approving the financial statements.
Certain impacts of accounting corrections in previous years will have to be reflected in additional tax returns.

Evidence skutečných majitelů: Co přinese znepřístupnění od 17. prosince 2025?
Letošní rozhodnutí Nejvyššího soudu a Nejvyššího správního soudu navázala na rozsudky Soudního dvora Evropské unie, a, s platností i pro Českou republiku, konstatovala, že zveřejňování údajů v rámci evidence skutečných majitelů představuje nepřiměřený zásah do základních práv majitelů na soukromí a ochranu osobních údajů. Důležitým aspektem těchto rozhodnutí byl závěr, že sankce, které postihují povinné subjekty jako reakce na nesplnění jejich povinnosti zápisu do evidence skutečných majitelů, není možné vymáhat, dokud je evidence veřejná. Tato situace se změní 17. prosince 2025, kdy ministerstvo znepřístupní evidenci skutečných majitelů; povinným subjektům tak budou opět hrozit závažné sankce.
