Document 120 - Amendment to the Income Taxes Act - RJ

Published date: 04.03.2026 |Processed date: 04.03.2026 |Session 10

Summary

The proposal abolishes the basic discount per taxpayer and transfers it to the tax benefit regime in the same amount of CZK 30 840 per year, which will now be available as a tax bonus up to the amount of social and health insurance premiums paid. The aim is to enable low-income employees to take full advantage of the support and to strengthen their motivation to work legally. At the same time, the amount of the child bonus is limited according to the insurance premiums paid and related references in the law are modified. The sections on compliance with international treaties, the impact on security and the proposal for approval at first reading have been deleted from the proposal; the effective date is set for 1 January 2027.

Government Opinion on Parliamentary Print 120/0

Processed date: 31.03.2026
The government has issued a disapproving opinion on the MPs’ draft amendment to the Income Tax Act, which changes the basic taxpayer discount into a tax benefit paid also in the form of a tax bonus. According to the government, the proposal is too complex, contains ambiguities and may increase the administrative burden and opacity of the tax system. It also criticises the possible disadvantage of the self-employed, the lack of clarity for taxpayers with more than one type of income and the problems of proving premiums paid. It also draws attention to possible disputes for non-resident taxpayers and to the negative impact on public budgets of hundreds of millions of crowns per year.
