Czech Republic has one of Europe's simplest tax systems: just two brackets at 15% and 23%. The 23% rate only kicks in above CZK 1,762,812 (~€71,000)—so most earners pay 15%. But the hidden cost is social/health insurance: employees pay ~11% while employers pay a massive ~33%. A CZK 1,000,000 earner (~€40,000) pays roughly CZK 100,000 income tax (~10% effective after credits) plus CZK 110,000 social contributions. The sleva na poplatníka (taxpayer credit) of CZK 30,840 means the first ~CZK 200,000 is effectively tax-free. Self-employed can use flat-rate expenses (60-80% of revenue) instead of actual expenses. Filing deadline is April 1 (July 1 with tax advisor). Use our calculator to estimate your Czech tax liability.
