Czech government finalises higher minimum contributions for self-employed from January
The Czech cabinet approved revised minimum social and health insurance payments for self-employed persons, raising the combined monthly amount by 458 CZK.
The government has signed off on the final parameters for self-employed contributions for the coming year, adjusting the minimum social insurance advance to 5,281 CZK and health insurance to 3,488 CZK, which together equal 8,769 CZK monthly—an increase of 458 CZK over one outlet level. These figures are based on a revised average wage estimate that is marginally lower than the earlier proposal. The first tier of the flat-rate tax regime will also be raised. Additionally, President Petr Pavel signed a law reinstating electronic sales reporting, which allows certain low-earning entrepreneurs to opt out of recording sales but adds a 1,400 CZK monthly surcharge to their regular payment.
