Option to request a change of the Tax Identification Number of natural persons

Are you a natural person and are you uncomfortable about your date of birth being identifiable from your tax identification number? The amendment to the Tax Code effective from 1 January 2021 allows you to change your tax identification number.

The tax identification number consists of the main part, which is a general identifier, preceded by the letters CZ. The general identifier of natural persons and legal entities is typically their birth registration number and their identification number, respectively. In order to ensure the protection of personal data contained in the birth registration number, the amendment to the Tax Code allows individuals to apply with the tax administrator for the assignment of a unique identifier different from the general identifier, i.e. the birth registration number.

A detailed description of the process of assignment of a unique identifier by the tax administrator is provided in the methodical instruction recently published on the website of the Financial Administration of the Czech Republic (methodical instruction ref. no. 79651/20/7700-10123-010450).
