Hidden amendment to the Income Taxes Act brings new relief for ceased enforcement proceedings

As part of the amendment to Act No. 120/2001 Coll., on Licensed Enforcement Agents and Enforcement Proceedings (Enforcement Act), among other things, Act No. 586/1992 Coll., on Income Taxes (ITA) has also been amended by inserting new relief for ceased enforcement proceedings with Act No. 286/2021 Coll. with effect from 1 January 2022. This relief will apply only to strictly defined historical enforcement proceedings and at the same time exclusively to low-value receivables not exceeding CZK 1,500. It is therefore not a long-term instrument, but rather a temporary measure following a change in the Enforcement Act.
