Required reading ❕
By the end of January in the Czech Republic, everyone who bought or sold real estate last year is required to register for the property tax or deregister the property if it no longer belongs to them. This is not a recommendation. It is a mandatory requirement of the Czech Financial Administration.
❔ What happens if you don’t do this?
- Property tax may continue to be charged on a property you no longer own
- Fines
- Issues with future transactions and tax audits
How this works in practice in the Czech Republic ✅
1️⃣ The declaration is submitted to the Finanční úřad based on the location of the property, not your place of residence.
2️⃣ The official form used is Daň z nemovitých věcí. It can be submitted:
- via datová schránka
- in person at the tax office
- by mail
3️⃣ When selling a property, you must file a deregistration. Otherwise, the tax will continue to be charged to you.
4️⃣ If you owned multiple properties or shares, all of them are listed in one declaration.
5️⃣ Errors in area size, property type, or transaction date can result in incorrect tax calculations or fines.
⏰ The deadline in the Czech Republic is the end of January. If you’re not sure whether you need to file a declaration or how to complete the form correctly, send me a direct message. I’ll review your situation and tell you exactly what needs to be done.
