From Judicature - Award by the Constitutional Court dated 1 December 2008 (I. ÚS 705/06)

Pursuant to the Award by the Constitutional Court dated 1 December 2008 (I. ÚS 705/06), the facts ascertained by tax authorities (carrying out procedural acts) in the course of a tax inspection that serve the decision-making of tax administrators but subsequently found to be illegal by the Financial Directorate, cannot be reapplied by the tax administrator.

The Constitutional Court cancelled decisions by court authorities as well as the decision by the Financial Directorate, which denied an appeal against additionally assessed tax in a situation in which the tax administrator interfered with the tax entity’s sphere on a repeated basis after the tax inspection had been completed and requested reinvestigation of the same facts that had been subject to the tax inspection before. The erroneous procedure adopted by the tax administrator was sufficient enough for the cancellation of prior decisions without the Constitutional Court dealing with the merit, i.e. the correct amount of tax.

Suburbanization Trends and Sustainable Commuting: Will the Construction Act Amendment Change the Landscape?

The discussion surrounding the current proposal to amend the Construction Act (Parliamentary Print 67) has moved to the committee stage in the Chamber of Deputies following its first reading. The primary declared objective is the acceleration of construction, particularly regarding residential buildings. The shortage of affordable housing remains a pressing issue in major cities, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, giving rise to the pervasive trend of suburbanization. This raises the question: does the proposed amendment truly have the ambition to reverse this trend, and will an increase in housing construction alone suffice?
