Fuel distributor
In connection with implementation of EU Directives and prevention of tax evasion, an amendment to the Fuel Act became effective on 21 April 2011. The amendment expands the circle of entities dealing with fuel, which is subject to legal regulation, to newly include distributors. A distributor is deemed as any entity, except for fuel stations, that sells fuel to another person or entity.
Distributors must be registered at the locally competent customs office before commencement of their activities or within 30 days after the aforementioned act became effective. The Distributors Register is a public list administered by the General Directorate of Customs in electronic form (http://www.celnisprava.cz). When performing their activities, distributors, in common with fuel station operators, must purchase fuel exclusively from persons entered in the Distributors Register. A sanction in the amount of CZK 3,000,000 or, as the case may be, CZK 5,000,000 can be imposed on distributors for non-compliance with legal obligations.
