From Judicature - The Constitutional Court issued a breakthrough resolution concerning the interpretation of periods set for tax assessment

Pursuant to the award of the Constitutional Court dated 2 December 2008, the three-year period in which a tax or an additional tax can be assessed does not commence at the end of the taxation period in which the tax return is to be filed but already from the end of the taxation period provided it is evident at the moment the obligation to file a tax return arises.

The Constitutional Court simultaneously explained that it is not possible to tolerate an extensive interpretation of periods for tax assessment without a rational explanation of the reasons why the matter was not settled within the basic three-year period of time. Pursuant to the existing judicature, it is impossible on the basis of this resolution to newly enter already closed court or tax proceedings, nonetheless in case of proceedings that are currently pending it is necessary to assess whether the objection concerning termination of the period for tax assessment could be extended within the meaning of the interpretation presented now by the Constitutional Court.

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?
