APPLICATION OF TAX FOR TAXABLE IMPLEMENTATION IN THE TERM

HLAVA I

TAXATION BODIES
§ 4
Persons subject to tax
The taxable persons are natural and legal persons who do business in the territory of the country, or carry out activities showing all the characteristics of the business, except that they are carried out by an entrepreneur. The taxable persons are not persons who carry out only taxable transactions exempt under § 25.
§ 5
Payers
(1) Payers are taxable persons whose turnover in the next 12 preceding calendar months exceeds CZK 2 000 000 from the first day of the second month following the month in which they exceeded the specified turnover. These persons shall be required to submit a registration in accordance with the Tax and Charges Management Act by the 20th day of the calendar month following the month in which they exceeded the specified turnover.
(2) The payers are also taxable persons whose individual turnover does not exceed the amount referred to in paragraph 1 in the case of persons who carry out taxable transactions jointly under a grouping contract (3) or other similar contracts, and where the total turnover of such persons within and outside the grouping exceeds the amount referred to in paragraph 1. Such persons shall be required to submit an application for registration individually within the time limits referred to in paragraph 1 and shall become payers from the first day of the second month following that in which they have exceeded the specified turnover. Where a taxable person who is not a payer enters into a contract for an association or other similar contract with a payer, he shall be required to submit an application for registration on the date of conclusion of the contract and shall become a payer on that date. Persons subject to tax who are jointly engaged under a contract of association or other similar contracts and are not payers shall be required to submit an application for registration at the effective date indicated on the registration certificate of the participant of the association first registered as a payer and shall become payers from that date.
(3) The taxable persons whose turnover does not exceed the amount referred to in paragraph 1 are the payers from the effective date indicated on the registration certificate. Such persons may submit an application for a payer's registration at any time.
(4) The payer may apply for cancellation of the registration at the earliest one year after the effective date indicated on the registration certificate, unless the turnover for the next 12 preceding calendar months exceeds CZK 2 000 000, unless otherwise provided for in this law. Any cancellation of the registration shall be entitled to apply to the payer who ceases to be a taxable person. The payers referred to in paragraph 2 may, under the conditions laid down in the sentence of the first sentence, apply for cancellation of the registration individually only on withdrawal or exclusion from the association. Upon dissolution of the association, all participants in the association may request the cancellation of registration only after the settlement of the assets in the association. For the purposes of cancelling the registration, the turnover of the participant of the association shall be the sum of its turnover from taxable transactions outside the association and the share of the turnover of the association attributable to that association. The share of turnover attributable to the participant in the grouping shall be determined according to the contract, otherwise equally.
(5) In the event of a cancellation of a registration, the payer shall be obliged to pay the tax on the commercial property of the registered person or to be registered on the date of cancellation of the registration for which he has applied the deduction of the tax or, where applicable, the deduction of the turnover tax or import tax or which he has acquired at prices net of tax or turnover tax. This obligation shall also apply to imported goods which the payer uses under a lease contract and which have been released for free circulation and which are not part of the payer's business assets at the date of cancellation of the registration, on the basis of a price established under a specific law. 10a) When determining the tax on the payer, he shall, in respect of the commercial property for which he has applied the deduction pursuant to Paragraph 19a (1), proceed by paying the tax on the residual price of the acquired tangible property established under the special legislation, 3b) on the residual price of the acquired tangible and intangible property established under the special legislation, 3c) on the value of the outstanding acquired tangible and intangible property determined under the special legislation and the cost of stocks established under the special legislation. 3c) In the case of commercial assets for which he has applied the deduction of tax pursuant to Paragraph 19a (3), he shall pay the tax on the residual price of the acquired tangible property established under the special legislation, on the residual price of the acquired fixed tangible and intangible property established under the special legislation, on the value of the outstanding acquired tangible and intangible property established under the special legislature (3c) and on the purchase price of stocks established under the special legislation, which shall be adjusted by a coefficient in accordance with § 20. This amount will be reduced by the input tax in the tax return for the last tax period. This provision shall not apply to commercial property created by its own activity, to passenger cars acquired from a person who is not a payer, and to constructions where the cancellation of registration takes place five years after their approval or acquisition.
(6) If the registration is cancelled as a result of the death of the payer, his successor shall be liable for the tax referred to in paragraph 5. This shall not apply if the person authorised under special legislation 3e) continues to do business after the deceased and is a taxpayer or submits an application for registration of the payer within 20 days of the date of death of the payer. The tax administrator shall register the person on the date following the date of death of the payer. At the date of issue of the property to the heir or, where applicable, to the estate manager, who will not continue the business of the deceased payer, the person entitled under the special legislation, 3e) who continued after the deceased payer in the business, shall be liable to pay the tax on the property issued in accordance with paragraph 5. This obligation shall not apply to the case where the property is issued to the heir or, where applicable, to the estate administrator, who shall continue the business and shall be a payer at the same time or submit an application for registration of the payer within 20 days of the date of issue of the property to the heir or, where appropriate, to the estate administrator. The tax administrator shall register that person on the date following the date of issue of the property to the heir or, where applicable, to the inheritance administrator. Similarly, in the event of the death of a payer operating under § 2 (2) (c) and (d) of the Commercial Code.
(7) Where a taxable person becomes a payer, he shall be entitled to claim the deduction of the property registered on the effective date indicated on the registration certificate in the manner set out in paragraphs 19 to 22. The deduction may be applied only to commercial property acquired not earlier than 12 months before the effective date indicated on the registration certificate. The condition for applying the deduction shall be the tax documents or documents issued by the payer containing the price including the tax. The entitlement shall be applied in the tax return for the first tax period after the effective date indicated on the registration certificate and the amount of the tax shall be calculated in the manner set out in Paragraph 17 (3). The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to commercial property created by its own activity. The deduction shall be applied to the residual price of the acquired tangible property established under the special legislation, 3b) to the residual price of the acquired tangible and intangible fixed assets established under the special legislation, 3c) to the value of the outstanding acquired tangible and intangible fixed assets established under the special legislature3c) and to the purchase price of stocks established under the special legislation. 3c) In the case of assets acquired by a deposit, the deduction shall be applied to the price which, at the time of its transfer, was the basis of the tax on the depositor, minus the relevant amount of depreciation determined according to the above types of property.
(8) The payers are also taxable persons who acquire property under a privatisation decision under a special law, 3a) from the date of acquisition of the property. These persons shall be required to submit an application for registration no later than 20 days after the date of acquisition of the property.
(9) In the conversion of a company or cooperative under a special law, 3d) which was a payer, all taxable persons who are transferred or transferred assets from a company or cooperative which has been removed without liquidation shall become payers on the date on which the transformation of the company or cooperative is entered in the commercial register or on the date on which the transfer of assets to the shareholder becomes registered. These persons are required to submit an application for registration within 20 days of the date of registration of the conversion into the Commercial Register. The cancellation of a company or cooperative without liquidation shall not be considered as cancellation of a registration within the meaning of paragraph 5 with an obligation to apply exit tax if all the successor persons have become payers. When a legal form is changed to another form under a special law, 3d) when a legal person does not disappear or transfer his or her assets to a legal successor, only his or her internal legal circumstances and the legal status of their members change, the legal person does not cease to be a payer. The legal person shall, within 20 days of the date of registration of the change in the legal form in the commercial register, notify the tax administrator of the change, which shall indicate it on the registration certificate. Similarly, if:
(a) a natural person who is a payer shall cease his business by inserting all of his business assets into a legal person who is immediately continuing that activity and of which he is the sole founder;
(b) the legal person who is a payer is dissolved, established by a single natural person, and, in the activity of the deceased legal person, that natural person continues as an entrepreneur;
(c) the conversion, merger, merger or division of a State enterprise or entity which is not set up or set up for business purposes, if the payers are.
(10) The payer referred to in paragraphs 6, 8 and 9 may request the cancellation of the registration not earlier than three months after the date on which they became payers pursuant to paragraph 6, 8 or 9, provided that their turnover does not exceed CZK 500,000 for those three months. When the registration is revoked, the taxpayers shall be liable for the tax referred to in paragraph 5.
