HOW TO APPROACH ANNUAL TAX RECONCILIATION FOR 2018
In term of the tax year end of 2018, we would like to provide you with information regarding the annual reconciliation of personal income tax from dependent activities.
First of all, let us clarify some terminology – it is necessary to distinguish between annual tax reconciliation and tax return, which in practice may sometimes cause difficulties.
Tax return – submitted by employees directly at the relevant Tax Office according to their permanent residence (by 31 March). Employees are obliged to submit the tax return provided they meet the following conditions stated in ZD (Income Tax Act) (see the information below).
Annual reconciliation – carried out by an employer. Its purpose is not to further burden those employees, who besides their income from employment have no other taxable income, with submitting tax returns. Annual tax reconciliation request represents employee’s entitlement not an obligation.
In addition, we also provide a summary related to the annual tax reconciliation. It is particularly designed for employees who need to consider whether or not to request the annual tax reconciliation, or whether they are entitled to request it. The information may also be used by the HR specialists (personnel) to assist their employees with the annual reconciliation request.
