It is separate evidence for tax purposes only. Accounting depreciation is booked in costs and it is non-deductable cost. Tax depreciation is compared with amount booked as accounting depreciation and difference is reflected: Accounting dep charge Tax dep charge Net amount of impact Direction of impact AD > TD => add back 10 5 5 add back AD < TD => less 5 10 -5 less NBV > TRV => add back """NBV"" is net book (accounting) value; ""TRV"" is residual tax value" NBV = Historical cost - Accumulated accounting dep NBV < TRV => less TRV = Historical cost - Accumulated tax dep TRV of disposed asset is tax deductable in case of: sales of asset NBV TRV Net amount of impact Direction of impact damage caused by natural disaster 15 12 3 add back theft by unknown offernder which is confirmed by police 12 15 -3 less another kind of damage only up to amount of directly related income (e.g. compensation from insurance) ##### Sheet/List 4 ##### Double taxation relief With some exeptions all DTTs can be grouped into three categorie: "treaties based on Model Treaty of OECD - between developed counteris, tax should be paid in country of tax residence of taxpayer" "treaties based on Model Treaty of UNO - between/with developing countries, tax should be paid in country of origination of related income" treaties with USA - tax should be paid in country of citizenship of taxpayer DTTs determine tax residency of taxpayers and stipulate methods for avoidance of double taxation of incme. These methods are applicable for both PIT and CIT. Taxpayer receiving income that is subject to taxation in CZ and also in another country can use tax relief based on related DTT. However CZ tax office will require confirmation from foreign tax administrators about actual taxes paid abroad. income taxable income Methods to avoid double taxation of income: (costs) (tax eligible costs) margin tax base (reduction of CZ tax liability) credit methods* full credit - when CZ tax liability may be decreased by full amount of foreign tax paid abroad. ordinary credit - when CZ tax laibility is decreased by foreign tax paid abroad but only up to amount of related CZ tax payable on such income (i.e. by amount of tax liabilty which would arise if such income would be taxed not abroad but in CZ). For such case rax credit coefficient is calculated: Coeficient = foreign tax base / total tax base 17% e.g. 20k is income generated abroad and 120k is total income (abroad + local) CIT liability from general tax base * Coefficient = Tax base deduction in CZ due to foreign tax paid abroad 6.65 83% 6 "e.g. 120k is total taxable income, 85k is total tax eligible costs, 19% is CIT rate => total tax liability in CZ" adjustment for ordinary credit tax liability in CZ final i.e. after reduction by ordinary credit method (reduction of CZ tax base) exemption methods ** full exemption - when CZ tax base may be decreased by full amount of foreign tax base taxed abroad (foreign income and related expenses are excluded from generale tax base of taxpayer in CZ). e.g. 20k is income generated abroad and 15k are tax eligible costs abroad; 120k is total income and 85k are total tax eligivle costs) 35 5 5.7 total tax base foreign tax base "exemption with progression - when CZ tax base is decreased by full amount of foreign tax base taxed abroad and then the remaining (reduced) general tax base in CZ is taxed with recalculated CIT rate (instead of standard 19%). Recalculated tax rate is obtained by taking into consideration of taxes payable by taxpayer, both in CZ and abroad (i.e. (tax paid abroad on foreign income + tax payable on general tax base reduced by tax foreign tax base in CZ) / (foreign income and other incomes earned by CZ taxpayer). In CZ this method is forbidden." (reduction of CZ tax base) tax paid abroad on foreign income as tax deductable cost it is applied in case if no DTT has been concluded between CZ and counterparty and thus CZ resident cannot use any of the above two methods for avoiding double taxation. Also this treatment is applied if related DTT exists but: (1) CZ and counterparty (state of income origine) have different taxable periods; or (2) limit for applicable method (crdit or exemption) is exceeded. e.g. 20k is income generated abroad and 15k are tax eligible costs abroad and 0.5k is tax paid abroad; 120k is total income and 85k are total tax eligible costs) 34.5 6.555 "* CZ has this arrangement with Belgium, Republik of Ireland, France, Poland, Austria, Slovakia and USA. If it is full credit or ordinar credit it depends on terms and conditions of each particular DTT. The relief by credit mainly applies to withholding tax imposed to the source state (e.g. tax on dividend income). This withholding tax is deducted from the tax imposed on the resident state. The tax authorities of the resident state will request for documents proving the imposition of withholding tax in the source state like tax certificate issued by the tax authorities of the source state or tax receipt. " "** CZ has this arrangement with Germany, Italy, UK and Spain. It is always full exemption since exemption with progression is forbiden in CZ. The relief by exemption mainly applies to profits generated through a Permanent Establishment in the source state. The source state claims taxing rights on the profits of the permanent establishment and the resident state exempts it from taxation.

BUT creation of further provision (i.e. remaining 80%) requires court proceedings." "from Jan 1st, 2014* - court proceedings are not required" general rule: aged receivables with 18 months of overdue => 50% of face value aged receivables with 30 months of overdue => 100% of face value exception: "if receivable has face value > 200,000 czk, then court proceedings are required" "provisions for receivables not exceeding 30,000 czk" court proceedings are not required "face value of receivable should be =< 30,000 czk toward the same debtor" it has been overdue for 12 months or more. general conditions for creation of statutory provision: receivable should be originally taxed as income no provision can be reated for receivable between related parties no provision can be created if taxpayer is in liquidation or in insolvency proceedings provisions can be created only toward receivables originated from normal supply of goods or services (i.e. for recaivable from contractual penalty or interest for late payment no provision can be created). no provision can be created if taxpayer has liabilites toward the same debtor and these liabilities are not yet settled "Note: on Jan 1, 2014 CZ Tax Code was updated. In 2018 all receivables due untill the end of 2013 (i.e. before change in legislation) became aged for more than 36 months. It means that 100% provision could be created by that time (assuming they were claimed at court). If they haven't been created yet, they still can be created." Overdue (aged) receivable can be written off (write-off without prior creation of provision) only if it is against debtor whose bankruptcy was dismissed by the court because debtor's assets were not sufficient who died and thereis noone who can pay off his debts who was dissolved without any legal successor whose property is subject of public auction Tax reserves for repairs of tangible assets "Legal owner of asset can create tax-deductable reserve (statutory) for repairs of tangible assets, BUT it is not possible to create such reserves for maintanance of assets." When creating a statutory reserve the amount of created reserve should be transferred to special (separate) bank account in CZ or in EU. Money must be transferred at the latest by the deadline for filling in tax return for the period. Reserve can be created only for tangible assets (not for intangible or low-value assets) with depreciation period of 5 years or more. Reserve cannot be created for only one taxable period. The maximum duration of reserve is 10 years: Depreciation category Max number of years for creation of reserves 2 3 3 6 4 8 5 10 6 10 . "Creation of reserves should be proportionate in particular years (but there are some exeptions, like in case of recalculation of costs of repair)" Actual repair should start at the latest in the period following the taxable period when repair was expected to commence. Otherwise reserve needs to releaed into revenue in the subsequent period. Release of reserve doesn't need to be proportional. The whole reserve or its remaining balance needs to be released at the latest in the taxable period following the period when repair commenced. Reserve cannot be created if taxpayer is in liquidation or in insolvency proceedings. Tax depreciation it is calculated from acquisition price of tangible assets Acquisition price is purchase price direct and indirect costs spent on creation of long-term asset In CZ all long-term asserts which can be subject of depreciation are categorized into these groups: "movable assets with purchase price > 40,000 czk and operational life > 1 year" immovable assets "intangible assets with purchase price > 60,000 czk and operational life > 1 year" Some types of assets like plots of land and art works and financial investments are not depreciated. "Tax depreciation of tangible asste is annual depreciation. If the asset is put into use at the end of taxable period, taxpayer may still apply the whole annual tax depreciation." "If asset was depreciated in previous periods and it is disposed in the current period, only half of annual charge can be claimed in the current period." Tax depreciation shall be rounded up to next whole czk. Tax amortization of intangible asset is monthly depreciation. Depreciation categories: Depreciation methods for tangibles assets based on normal depreciation straight-line method tax depreciation = (input price * annual depreciation rate) / 100 "If technical improvement is performed over asset, annual depreciation rate for increased input cost must be used (starting from the period in which appreciation commenced). However if technical appreciation was commenced in the first year when asset was put into use, must be included into normal input price under normal depreciation rate." accelearted method "if asset was technically appreciated, tax depreciation is computed as follows:" tax depreciation = (2 * increased TRV) / coefficient for increaed TRV tax depreciation = (2 * increased TRV) / (coefficient for increaed TRV - number of years of depreciation from increased TRV) "if technical appreciation was commenced in the first year when asset was put into use, must be included into normal input price under normal depreciation rate." based on increased depreciation in the first year of depreciation first-year depreciation can be increased by rates "10% for office equipment, accumulators, air-conditioning" 20% for forestry and acricultural mashines owned by taxpayers whose main activity is agriculture or forestry conditions taxpayer must be first owner of asset assets are classified in depreciation categories 1-3 "this is not applicable to personal cars, planes, household equipment." methods straight-line method: accelerated method: The first year depreciation calculated based on accelerated method is increased by 10% or 20% of the input price of the asset. Coefficients for accelerated tax depreciation remain unchanged for the following years. Depreciation methods for intangibles assets tax depreciation is calculated on monthly absis starting from the month following the day in which the conditions for depreciating have been fulfilled. The depreciation cannot be interrupted. "If purchase agreement stipulated a fixed period during which the intangible asset can be used, the monthly depreciation is calculated as input price divided by number of months stated in the purchase contract." Goodwill acquired in business combination is depreciated 180 months Depreciation of low-value assets it equals the accounting depreciation. Tax deprciation cannot be interrupted. Technical appreciation technical appreciation of tangible assets "these are costs on reconstraction or modernization of tangible assets if they exceed czk 40,000 / asset within 1 calendar year" technical appreciation increases either input price of asset (in case of straight-line method of depreciation) or tax residual value of asset (in case of accelerated method of depreciation) "if tangible asset is technically appreciated, it is necessary to use rates/coefficients for increased input price (see depreciation method above)" "if technical appreciation happens in the first year when asset is put into use, it should be included into input price of the asset and depreciation rates/coefficients for the first year should be used for depreciating the asset." technical appreciation of intangible assets "these are costs on upgrade or modernization of intangible assets if they exceed czk 60,000 / each separet appreciation and it is not accumulated during the year (as it is for tangible assets)." technical appreciation increases residual value of intangible asset ##### Sheet/List 5 ##### Tax procedure: taxpayer vs payer of tax local competence is based on residential address location of immovable asset (if real estate is taxed) communication with tax authorities "if individual has data box, then communication is via this data box only; if not, via paper forms" registration duty persons lible to tax are obligated to register for taxes with local Tax office by filling in registration form within 15 days from day of commencement of business activity or from day when first business income was received Self-assessment system and tax return: self-assessment principle states that taxpayer fills his tax return by himself or by his official representative (e.g. registered tax advicer) there 3 types of tax return: "ordinary - is filled after the end of taxable period and within deadlines set by law (3 months after the end of taxable period, which is always for PIT the same as normal calendra year; in case if return is prepared by registered tax advicer then there are 6 months for filling this return after the end of taxable period)" corrective - is filled after ordinary tax return but still within deadline set by law. It is used in tax assessments as final one (i.e. without considering ordinary one) "additional - is filled after ordinary tax return and after deadline set by law. The deadline for filling this return is end of month following the month when such facts (see below) were discovered. Additional tax tax, if any, is payable within this additional time limit. This return cannot be filled during tax audit." obligation: it should be filled in case when person liable to tax finds out that his tax liability should be higher or his tax loss should be lower than his last known tax laibility declared in previous tax return possibility: it can be filled in case when person liable to tax finds out that his tax liability should be lower or his tax loss should be higher than his last known tax laibility declared in previous tax return Payment of tax: tax becomes due on deadline for filling in tax return. it should be paid in CZ currency there wre following methods of payment: Payroll tax: each employer is obliged to perfom monthly payroll tax witholdings payroll tax advances must be witheld on the day of salary payment and must be transferred to Tax office by 20th day of the following calendar month for which salary is paid employers are obliged to have payroll sheet for each employee after year end employer should perform annual payroll reconcilliation of payroll taxes witheld during the year. it should be prepared within 2 month after the end of calendar year. Rounding: tax base for PIT should be rounded down to the nearest 100 of CZK tax advance should be rounded up to the nearest 100 of CZK tax base for WHT is reounded down to whole CZK CIT advances "Advance period starts on the day following the statutory date for filling CIT return for previous taxable period and lasts until the last day of statutory period for submission of next tax return. During taxable period advance payments should be done if last known tax liability was higher than 30,000 czk."
