Decree D-72 goes into effect on 15 September 2025.

The Czech Republicโ€™s tax authorities (General Financial Directorate) have issued Decree D-72, which the Ministry of Finance published on 10 September 2025, replacing the previous Decree D-67.

The Decree introduces updated guidelines for handling the remission of tax-related charges, including late payment interest, penalties, and fines. A key change is the inclusion of a new provision allowing for a complete waiver of tax penalties, replacing the previous 75% limit. This full waiver applies to penalties incurred from 1 July 2025 onwards.

The Decree aims to promote fairness and consistency in evaluating taxpayer requests for charge waivers.

It will be effective starting 15 September 2025.

Earlier, the Czech Republicโ€™s General Financial Directorate issued Decree D-67, which replaced Decree D-58, on 21 February 2025.
