16 minutes of reading

Tax law

In 2026, the amount will depend primarily on your salary, the Taxpayer Declaration you’ve signed, and the tax credits you’ve claimed. However, this is not always the final tax amount—the definitive result will only be determined by the annual tax settlement or tax return. We’ll also explain when withholding tax is used instead of advance payments and what limits apply to DPP and DPČ contracts.

At the same time, however, you need to keep track of the current limits and conditions under the Income Tax Act to ensure that the tax office does not recognize your credit or deduction only partially—or not at all.
