VAT registration in Czech Republic
Any entity wishing to become an active VAT taxpayer in the Czech Republic must pass the VAT registration process. Entities may apply for VAT registration on a voluntary basis, and once the registration process is completed, the office has 30 days to issue a decision. However, there are situations in which a foreign entity with neither a registered office nor a branch in the Czech Republic must compulsorily register for VAT.
Among others, entities that have sold goods to the Czech Republic or provided services in the Czech Republic, as well as entities sending goods to the Czech Republic, whose turnover exceeded CZK 1,140,000 within 12 consecutive months, are subject to VAT registration. The VAT registration procedure itself consists in filling in a relevant application, enclosing the required documents and sending this set electronically to the Czech Tax Office.
