We were expecting the turn of the year with hopes of a return to normal. Whether 2021 will bring it, we do not yet know, but we do know that it will again bring many legal innovations and changes. Whether it’s changes to employment law, new rules on digitalisation, or even the new administrative zoning of the state – you’ll have an information head start with us.
We have already informed you about the amendment to the Labour Code from last year. As of 1 January 2021, the amendment will make the calculation of holidays based on hours worked, not days, fairer.
Since the beginning of the year, the minimum wage has also been increased again, to CZK 15,200 per month. Along with it, the guaranteed wage for individual groups is also rising, e.g. doctors will have a minimum guaranteed wage of CZK 27,500 and payroll accountants CZK 22,600.
In the area of real estate, we expect, of course, especially a new construction law, but this is not yet in sight, and the presented versions raise concerns. However, there have been other important changes. To qualify for income tax exemption in the case of the sale of selected real estate, such as holiday buildings or forests, it will now be necessary to meet a time test of 10 years between the acquisition of ownership and the sale. Previously, the time test of 5 years applied.
However, it is now also possible to “exempt” these transfers from tax if the taxpayer uses the proceeds to provide for his or her own housing needs.
The extension of the time test applies to real estate acquired from 1 January 2021 onwards, with the date of filing the application for entry in the Land Register being decisive. We wrote about this earlier in connection with the abolition of the real estate acquisition tax.

Since the beginning of the year, part of the new Digital Service Rights Act has also been in force. The Act gives individuals the right to communicate digitally with the authorities and the authorities the obligation to deal with their requests digitally. It should also resolve the long-standing mischief whereby authorities have often asked citizens for data that they can find out for themselves in public registers.
The new regulation also develops the so-called banking identity. This means that we will be able to log in to the state’s digital services in the same way as we do to our online banking, using the same details.
The new legislation replaces several existing laws on the territorial division of the state. The 1960s zoning system will cease to be valid and the so-called large regions (West Bohemia, North Bohemia, etc.), whose use has disappeared over time, will cease to exist once and for all. However, only in various social games or quizzes will it be useful to know that districts remain as a formal territorial unit, although individuals are practically unaffected.

Seriously, what could be better than that? While it sounds ‘too good to be true,’ I’m happy to report that the staff at DA are pros, and what’s more they are honestly dedicated to their awesome mission, which is to make quality legal services affordable for the average person. I find their prices very fair when compared to what I’ve usually paid for similar services, which means I (and my family and friends) can get the legal help I need without worrying about some black hole of never-ending fees. In my own experience with DA I’ve found everyone there very responsive, and emails and calls are answered in a timely manner. Their large staff also gives me confidence that any legal needs I have can be handled professionally, as there’s always someone with experience in my particular issue. Their head attorney also writes a regular blog and keeps up with all the latest legal trends, which means they as a business stay up-to-date. As someone who’s spent a fortune over the years on legal assistance, or tried to “go it alone” when I couldn’t afford legal help, I wish Dostupny Advokat had been around a long time ago. I highly encourage anyone who needs legal help to TRY THEM FIRST!
We had terms and conditions drafted for our gym, and now we are very glad that we did so. Clear relationship rules are the basis for lasting friendships, and never more so than in the business world!
I work as a self-employed craftsman and I know my field very well. Unexpected events happen, however, and I sometimes have to deal with problems where I need quality legal advice. I don’t like calling legal offices, getting sucked into discussions with terms I don’t understand. Dostupnyadvokat.cz is different. My first time, they replied immediately (zobrazit více) and together we created a contract custom tailored to my exact needs. I continue to be very happy with both their work and their price.
