Environmental Taxes
The current environmental tax reform introduced new environmental taxes into the Czech tax system effective from 1 January 2008. Taxation of electricity, natural gas, and solid fuels (i.e., energy products) is applied if the energy products are supplied by the supplier to final consumers or when untaxed or exempted energy products are consumed.
Taxation of electricity, natural gas, and solid fuels places additional responsibilities particularly on manufacturers, suppliers, and some consumers of energy products. Each person obliged to pay environmental tax has to comply with specific administrative obligations. On the other hand, there are new tax exemption possibilities. Although the legislation governing environmental taxes is relatively simple, it contains some provisions that may raise questions for taxpayers and which may be used for tax optimisation.
