S.r.o. or trade licence?

Is it better to have just a trade licence or to establish an s.r.o. company?

See advantages and disadvantages of both below:

S.r.o. Company – advantages:

If you want to run the business together with other person/people, the only way is to establish an s.r.o. company. S.r.o. companies can have up to 50 partners.

It is easy to add more partners during your business or to sell your share.

It is easier to get a loan or to win a state job bid because s.r.o.s seem more reliable to people.

Owners are not liable for the debt of the company with their personal property.

S.r.o. Company – disadvantages:

Set up costs are around 20 000 Czk. You can't use a standard expense deductions (60% lump sum) in the tax return.

Changes in the scope of the business or the liquidation of business is more difficult and more expensive.

You can't simply withdraw the money from the Company whenever you want. The taxation of the corporate profit is 19%. The additional taxation of the profit distribution is 15%.

CIT (corporate income tax)

All companies have to use double-entry bookkeeping which requires a trained person. Corporate income tax (CIT) return has to be ready before the end of March.

Financial statements (Balance sheet, Profit and loss account and footnotes) has to be attached to CIT return.

CIT is 19% from the tax base which is calculated as the profit amended of nontaxable costs and revenues.

Formation of s.r.o company (limited liability company)

We can set up s.r.o. for you.

In fact, we have ready made companies and it takes usually one week to change the ownership to you.

It is very easy, cheap and with no stress.

The price for the ready made company is 20 000 czk.

We can help you also to open the bank account for the company.

Social insurance

The height of the social insurance charges depends on the revenue you claim in personal income tax return. In the first year you will pay the minimum social charges, independent of the revenue.

After filling the income tax return for the first year, you have to calculate if those minimum charges were sufficient or if you must pay extra charge for this first year. Also, based on the income of the previous year, you have to calculate adjusted monthly charges for the new tax year.

Health insurance

1. US, EU Citizens and 3rd-Country Nationals with Permanent Residence Permit and 3rd-Country Nationals who have previously been an employee in the EU must pay minimum charges in the first year of the business. Similarly to social insurance, after filing the income tax return of the first year, you must calculate if those minimum charges were sufficient or if you have to pay extra charges for the year.

2. For 3rd-Country Nationals with a long-term D-Visa the situation is different. They must have Commercial Complex Care Health Insurance.
