Tax Advisory

Legal support and financial-economic advices in the field of taxes, levies, charges and other statutory payments, as well as in the fields related directly to taxes. As a standard, we perform tax optimization to minimize the clients´ levies, always in compliance with the applicable legal regulations and related case law. We are ready to prepare a tax audit for you, including the identification of possible risks arising from the current status, and propose several options of possible corrective measures to eliminate the retrospective assessment by a tax administrator. We will prepare for you any type of a tax return, professional statement according to your requirements, and we will provide you with continuous consultancy.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. How long does it take to resolve a tax issue?

Simple opinions or consultations we handle within a matter of days. For tax audits or complex restructurings the process can take weeks to months. Our priority is always to respond quickly so that we meet the deadlines and do not needlessly prolong the uncertainty.

2. Can you handle even very specific and complex tax cases?

Yes, those are exactly what we specialize in. We have experience with complex holding structures, transfer pricing and specific sector-based taxes. Where an ordinary accountant ends, we begin.

3. Do you handle tax advisory separately from legal advisory?

No, and that is our advantage. Within ARROWS we have our own team of tax advisors who work hand in hand with the attorneys. As a result you get a comprehensive solution "under one roof" and do not have to coordinate two different suppliers.

4. Will you help us with taxes when expanding abroad?

Yes. Thanks to the ARROWS International network and our foreign partners we can efficiently resolve tax obligations, VAT and entity setup within the EU as well as worldwide.

5. Where do I start when I need advice?

The best option is to arrange a non-binding initial consultation. We will discuss your plan or problem and propose a plan of specific steps, including a price quote.

How to conduct due diligence on suppliers to prevent the tax authority from denying your VAT deduction

Tax authorities question an invoice from a supplier who has vanished, whose director knows nothing of the deal, or who takes cash, and the company is left carrying the burden of proof. A formal document is not enough to support a cost or a VAT deduction. The lawyers of ARROWS advokátní kancelář set up supplier checks and an evidence file that holds up in a tax audit.

How to substantiate VAT deductions for advertising and consulting services when an invoice is insufficient

&nbsp;A company buys advertising or consultancy services and holds an invoice, an order and a handover protocol, yet the tax office still refuses the VAT deduction because the documents do not show the extent of the service. According to the Supreme Administrative Court, that proof is the buyer's task. The lawyers of ARROWS advokátní kancelář set up service documentation so the extent of performance can be proven in an audit.<br><br>

How Much of Your Company’s Sale Price Actually Reaches Your Bank Account

Of the 120 million crowns quoted in an offer, the seller rarely receives the full amount at closing. Net debt, a working-capital adjustment, a holdback or escrow and sometimes an earn-out all stand between the headline number and the wire transfer. The lawyers of ARROWS advokátní kancelář structure the pricing mechanism so the seller knows exactly how much, and when, they will actually be paid.

How Tax Audits Work Today and What the Tax Office's Software Can Detect

The tax office now runs your accounts through software that spots inconsistencies in seconds – like a December cost spike or margins that don't match your industry. Skip a preventive audit before you submit your data, and you risk a fast reassessment plus penalties. Here's how to check your books before the state does.

Tax Optimisation and Audit Defence

If your company is growing or has a more complex structure, good bookkeeping alone isn't enough anymore – the tax office now analyzes data automatically, and a reassessment plus penalties can cost you millions. The key is combining legal tax optimization with audit-readiness, not scrambling once a dispute starts. Here's where safe optimization ends and risk begins.

Taxation of Corporate Subsidies and Grants

A company subsidy or grant is taxed differently depending on whether it's operating or investment support – getting the accounting wrong can trigger a tax reassessment or force you to repay the whole grant. Find out how to book it correctly and what it means for VAT.

Proving Tax-Deductible Corporate Expenses in 2026

In 2026, Czech tax authorities recognise a business expense only if the company can prove the service was actually delivered, not just show an invoice — entertainment costs, alcohol, and gifts over CZK 500 are always non-deductible regardless of business benefit. Find out how to safely document business trips, intra-group invoicing, and external consulting.

Tax Treatment of IT Investments and Software

From 2026, the threshold for mandatory tax depreciation of both tangible and intangible assets is unified at 100,000 crowns, so cheaper software or a laptop can be deducted from taxes immediately. Above that limit, an IT investment must be depreciated gradually over several years, and misclassifying it leads to back taxes. Find out how to tell an operating cost from a long-term asset and what to watch for with cloud services and AI.

Corrective vs Supplementary Tax Returns

You can fix a mistake in a tax return without penalty if you file a corrective return within the regular deadline — after that, late-payment interest applies, and if the tax office catches it first, a 20% penalty on the assessed tax follows too. Find out what deadlines apply to a supplementary return and how, since July 2025, sanctions can even be waived in full.

Pre-Closing Dividends and Working Capital Adjustments in M&A Deals

A pre-closing dividend paid out just before signing can leave the buyer without cash they had already priced into the deal. We explain how a working-capital price adjustment protects against this and what to avoid when calculating it.
