Guaranteeing Unpaid Tax
The guarantee requirement imposed in Section 109(2)(c) of the Value Added Tax Act took effect on 1 April 2013.
The provision requires recipients of a taxable supply to guarantee unpaid VAT if the payment for the taxable supply is wired (regardless of whether in full or in part) to any account other than the one which is listed by the tax authority as the provider’s account.
The General Tax Directorate is aware that the guarantee system and the procedure for reporting, verifying, and listing the number of accounts of VAT payers is not fully functional and is still pending, which is why it decided to refrain from calling upon guarantors to pay until 30 September 2013.
A number of problems also exist, such as the numbers of some accounts are listed which the tax entity did not want listed and, vice versa, i.e. numbers made available for the listing were actually not listed, which may make business difficult for the tax entities. Therefore, we recommend double checking the account numbers listed by the tax authorities at www.daneelektronicky.cz and, where applicable, finding an appropriate solution with the tax authority.

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.
30th Advent Concert for the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havlová Foundation
This year again, during the pre-Christmas season, the Advent Concert of Good Will took place. Since 1995, it has been organised by the law firm Kocián Šolc Balaštík in support of the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havlová Foundation. This was already the 30th anniversary edition, made exceptional by the fact that we organised it for the first time together with our partner, Smetanova Litomyšl, as part of a broader mutual cooperation. As always, the concert was held in the concert hall of the Church of Sts. Simon and Jude in Prague’s Old Town.
