Vat Act amendment
The VAT Act amendment, which forms a part of the Senate’s legal measure on amending certain tax acts in connection with the recodification of private law and which will become effective on 1 January 2014, contains a number of changes mainly of a legislative-technical character, in particular it brings the terminology of the VAT Act into compliance with the “recodification regulations”.
During the legislative process, certain lawmakers proposed amendments to the act that would mitigate administrative impacts on the system of a guarantee for outstanding VAT (this would not apply to taxable supply for which the consideration would not exceed CZK 700,000). Nevertheless, such proposals were not adopted and the guarantee rules will hence remain the same next year.
