Tax reliefs for donations in support of Ukraine
On Friday, 4 March 2022, a draft amendment to the Income Tax Act was introduced to provide tax reliefs for taxpayers' charitable activities related to assisting Ukraine and its people in the conflict. The government will discuss the draft amendment on Wednesday, 9 March 2022. The amendment to the Act could come into effect around April/May, with the law providing for retrospective effect from the beginning of 2022. The tax administration shall therefore already be proceeding in agreement with the planned amendment.

Czech inflation rose to 11.1% yoy in February
In February, Czech consumer prices increased by a further 1.3% mom. After seasonal adjustments, monthly price dynamics slowed from a significant 2.9% rise in January to 1.2% in February. Housing-related costs (contribution: 0.5pp), supported by continued growth in energy prices, and food (contribution: 0.3pp) were the main drivers of the 1.3% mom inflation. Imputed rents rose by 0.6% mom and food prices (excluding alcohol and tobacco) by 1.4% mom. However, prices also continued to grow in other categories of goods and services, such as transport due to higher fuel prices, so the inflation remained broad-based. Goods prices increased by 1.4% mom and prices in services by 1.0%.
