  • thelease agreement of the office space, which shows that the company has an official business address;

  • the articles of association– the main statutory documents of a business set up in Czech Republic;
  • documents attesting the right to develop business activities on the Czech Republic territory;
  • confirmation from the administrator of the registered capital and an extract from the Trade Licenses Register;
  • a certificate from the bank stating the deposited capital, which can vary depending on the company’s business form;
  • a list with the company managers and their signature and consent for the registration into the Commercial Register;
  • clean criminal records for all representatives and members of the company registered here.

The owners must submit an application at the Tax Office for the income tax, withholding tax and payroll tax registration and for the VAT registration no later than 15 days since the company was registered. As a result, the newly formed entity will receive a tax identification number. The last step of incorporation is the registration for social security and health insurance, within eight days after the first employee was hired.
