Pilíř 2 – komora prosí o formulář, Ministerstvo zdvořile odmítá

The Chamber of Tax Advisors sent a letter to the Ministry of Finance (MF) suggesting that it would be appropriate for the Czech tax administration, in addition to the published structure of the GIR, to create an interactive form on the Tax Portal of the Financial Administration.

In its response, the MF politely declined: "...given the low number of entities and the possibility of submitting the GIR by companies abroad (especially the parent entity), the solution you are requesting would be economically inefficient. The publication of the content structure in XML format provides the affected entities with a sufficient basis for utilizing group or external technical solutions, which are common within multinational structures."

The final sentence in the MF's response is particularly interesting: "...Allow me to add that at this moment we are trying to minimize or completely eliminate the administrative obligations associated with this project in the context of the planned relaxation of Pillar II, as the proposed changes make the project relatively insignificant in terms of budgetary revenues for the Czech Republic."
