Glossary

paušální daň

Pronounced pow-shaal-nyee dan

In one line

Flat-rate tax — one monthly payment covering income tax plus social and health insurance.

Where you meet it

Many small self-employed people opt into it to avoid filing returns.

The fuller explanation

You register by a deadline early in the year, pay a single monthly amount, and then normally file neither a tax return nor the annual insurance overviews. It is only open to OSVČ who meet income and status conditions, and the monthly amount and income bands are set each year — check the current figures before opting in.
