Prohlášení poplatníka

"Pink" taxpayer application

What does “Prohlášení poplatníka” mean in Czechia?

Prohlášení poplatníka is a taxpayer's declaration to an employer, commonly called a "pink" declaration. Officially, it is form no. 27.

Signing Deadlines

Sign it — no later than 30 days after starting work.
After that — every year by February 15th.
🔴 Only with one employer per month. You cannot have it with two at the same time.

What It Gives You

It is through this declaration that the employer applies monthly discounts: a discount for the taxpayer of 2,570 CZK/month and tax benefits for children. No declaration — no monthly discounts.

🔴 What Happens Without It on a DPP

For a DPP (agreement on work performance) up to 12,000 CZK without the declaration, a withholding tax of 15% will be taken directly from the payment. The money is not lost — it is returned through a tax return, but next year and only if you file one.

Important. Many newcomers with several part-time jobs do not sign the declaration anywhere — and for years they pay 15% from each DPP (agreement on work activity), without getting it back. Sign it where your earnings are highest, and do not forget about the tax declaration for the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sign a declaration with two employers?

In the same month — no, only with one. If you have several side jobs, choose the one with the highest earnings: there the discount of 2,570 CZK/month will have the biggest effect.

Was 15% withheld from my DPP? Is this money lost?

No. The 15% withholding tax on a DPP (agreement on work performance) up to 12,000 CZK is withheld precisely because of the absence of a "prohlášení" (declaration). This tax is returned through the tax return ("daňové přiznání") at the end of the year, but only if you file the tax return.
