Czechia’s two-rate DPH

RateTypical application
Standard — 21%Most goods and services.
Reduced — 12%Foodstuffs, medicines, books, heating, water, cultural events and other essentials.
Zero / exemptExports and intra-EU supplies (zero-rated); financial and insurance services (exempt).

Czechia consolidated its old three-rate structure (21/15/10) into two rates — 21% and 12% — from January 2024, so older invoices showing 15% or 10% are simply pre-2024 documents. Czech VAT is called DPH (daň z přidané hodnoty).

Koruna conversions at 21%

  • CZK 1,000 net → CZK 1,210 (DPH CZK 210).
  • CZK 1,210 ÷ 1.21 = CZK 1,000 net.
  • CZK 10,000 net → CZK 12,100; CZK 121,000 gross → CZK 100,000 net (DPH CZK 21,000).
  • At 12%: CZK 500 → CZK 560 (DPH CZK 60).

Registration and filing basics

  • Threshold: VAT registration is required once turnover exceeds CZK 2,000,000 in a rolling 12-month period. Expecting to cross it? You register from the day it becomes certain, not afterwards.
  • Filing: returns are filed monthly, or quarterly for smaller taxpayers, through the Financial Administration’s portal; VAT payers also submit a VAT ledger alongside.
  • Reverse charge: domestic reverse charge applies in construction and selected sectors; EU cross-border services reverse-charge automatically for B2B. Czech VAT numbers start with CZ.
  • Authority: the Czech Financial Administration (Finanční správa) administers DPH.
