We have to have this information to complete your VAT returns. Please fill it in and upload it to Tribexa as soon as you can. Delays can result in penalties from the Tax Authorities.
When you'll be invoiced
Now that your registration is complete, we'll begin issuing invoices for your monthly subscription. Our invoices are charged on the 1st of each month, based on the work we do for the previous reporting period. For example, if you need to file March's VAT return in Belgium, you'll see the charge on April 1st. This is because we finalise and submit the necessary work in April.
Your monthly subscription fees will be charged to your payment method through Stripe on the 1st of each month. After the payment is processed, you will automatically receive a receipt and a VAT invoice from Stripe.
How often do you have to file a VAT return in the Czech Republic?
The Czech Republic has two filing frequencies: monthly and quarterly. Monthly is the standard filing period. If you’re newly registered (within your first two years) or a VAT group, you can’t file quarterly, even if your turnover meets the filing criteria.
EC Sales Lists are always filed monthly, even if your VAT return is filed quarterly.
| Frequency | Turnover | Filing and Payment Deadline |
| Monthly | Standard Reporting Period | 25th of the following month |
| Quarterly | Less than CZK 10,000,000 |
If the deadline for monthly and quarterly filings falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, the due date is extended to the following day.
| Standard | 21% |
| Reduced | 12% |
Remember that the VAT rates applied to products change by country. What is standard rate in one country may be reduced in another, and vice versa.
