Help — Czech invoices

Short answers for English speakers issuing their first Czech (CZ) invoice — VAT, reverse charge, and sole trader basics.

Czech VAT (DPH) on the invoice

If you are a Czech VAT payer, you normally show VAT rates (21 %, 12 %, etc.) and the VAT breakdown. If you are not registered for VAT in the Czech Republic, you typically issue without VAT (unless a special regime applies). The tool lets you choose the mode that matches your situation.

Reverse charge (přenesená daňová povinnost)

For certain B2B supplies between VAT-registered businesses in the EU, VAT can shift to the buyer via reverse charge. Whether it applies depends on the service, place of supply, and both parties’ VAT status. If you are unsure, treat the invoice as high-stakes and confirm with your accountant before sending it to the client.

Sole trader (OSVČ) basics

Many freelancers in the Czech Republic invoice as OSVČ using their IČO (company ID) and, if applicable, DIČ (VAT ID). Keep your legal name / business name and address consistent with the trade register (ARES) so the buyer can verify you quickly.
