Intrastat Returns in the Czech Republic

Frequency of filing and due date of Intrastat returns in Czech Republic

Like in most EU countries, Czech Intrastat returns are filed monthly. They follow the calendar month.

The due date for submission is the 12th working day of the following month.

Finally, Intrastat returns must be completed in CZK currency in Czech Republic.

Czech Republic Intrastat thresholds

The following annual Intrastat thresholds apply in Czech Republic (calendar year) in 2026:

• Arrivals: CZK 15,000,000
• Dispatches: CZK 15,000,000

Also, there are additional thresholds for detailed Intrastat submission:

• Arrivals: CZK 30,000,000
• Dispatches: CZK 30,000,000

However, if the taxpayer is making intra-Community transactions with certain goods not intended for simplified reporting, the detailed Intrastat will always be due irrespective of the threshold.

These thresholds are computed annually according to the calendar year. Once filed, a complete calendar year needs to be covered by a company in order to stop filing these returns. For example, if a company exceeds the threshold in March 2022 on arrivals, Intrastat returns for arrivals are due until December 2023. These thresholds are calculated according to the invoice value. The authorities monitor the thresholds and often send letters to each taxpayer requiring them to file missing Intrastat return.
