Flat Tax in the Czech Republic

Flat Tax Registration for Self-Employed (OSVČ)

If you are an independent professional, freelancer, or contractor operating under a Czech trade license (Živnostenský list), the Czech Flat Tax (Paušální daň) is the simplest, most predictable tax system available.

Instead of tracking expenses, calculating deductions, paying separate monthly advances to three government institutions, and filing complicated annual tax returns every spring, the flat tax regime consolidates everything into one single monthly payment.

That one payment covers your Income Tax, Social Insurance, and Public Health Insurance. Once registered, you are completely exempt from filing annual income tax returns or year-end insurance overviews (přehledy).

At Wise Expats, we audit your eligibility, determine your correct flat tax band, prepare all official notices, and file your complete registration with the Czech Tax Office (Finanční úřad) for a flat fee of 2,900 CZK—100% remotely.

Who Qualifies for the Flat Tax Regime?

You are eligible to join the Czech flat tax regime if you meet the following conditions:

• Active Sole Proprietor (OSVČ): You run your business under a Czech trade license or independent freelance activity.
• Annual Turnover Up to 2,000,000 CZK: Your gross business income in the preceding calendar year did not exceed the 2,000,000 CZK limit.
• Not a Full Domestic VAT Payer: You cannot be a standard VAT payer (plátce DPH). However, cross-border Light VAT payers (Identifikovaná osoba) are eligible.
• No Standard Employment Income: You cannot have a standard Czech employment contract (DPP agreements subject to final withholding tax are permitted).
