This amount is to be paid until the month following the month in which the Summary of Income and Expenses (following the Income Tax Return) is or should be submitted.

News: Self-employed persons (OSVČ) who initiated their business (or reinitiated it and didn´t do in the last 5 calendar years) don´t have to pay social insurance advances in the current and the following year.
