Finance Ministry instructions D-190, D-223 and D-267 replaced with instruction D-300

The instruction sets out the Czech Finance Ministry's interpretation of some provisions of ITA. Although not binding on tax payers, the instruction is likely to be followed by tax authorities. The wording of instruction D-300 has been more closely specified and now reflects the comments of the Czech Chamber of Tax Advisors and other conclusions approved by the Co-ordination Committee of Czech Finance Ministry and Czech Chamber of Tax Advisors.

For example, Instruction D-300 provides that expenditure (costs) set out in Section 24 subs. 2 ITA constitute tax deductible costs under Section 24 subs. 1 ITA, whether or not they have been incurred to secure, attain or maintain income (provided that they are not expressly specified as not deductible for tax purposes by other provisions of ITA). The Instruction was published in Financial Bulletin no. 11-12/2006 and is available on the Finance Ministry's web pages.

Suburbanization Trends and Sustainable Commuting: Will the Construction Act Amendment Change the Landscape?

The discussion surrounding the current proposal to amend the Construction Act (Parliamentary Print 67) has moved to the committee stage in the Chamber of Deputies following its first reading. The primary declared objective is the acceleration of construction, particularly regarding residential buildings. The shortage of affordable housing remains a pressing issue in major cities, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, giving rise to the pervasive trend of suburbanization. This raises the question: does the proposed amendment truly have the ambition to reverse this trend, and will an increase in housing construction alone suffice?
