Whether you’ve been in Czechia for ten years or just arrived with a fresh visa and trade license, tax season has a way of raising questions you didn’t know you had. Do you owe something back home? Does your Czech employer handle everything? What happens if you freelance on the side? And what exactly is an FBAR?
AI tools and Google Translate can handle the basics, but they won’t give you the expertise you need when real obligations or cross‑border rules come into play. Knowing where to turn can save time, reduce stress, and even prevent late filing fees (which can add up fast). Whether it’s filing U.S. returns, registering a Czech company, or managing payroll and insurance, these eight services make navigating it all far easier.
Navigating cross-border taxes and foreign income
Managing income, property, or investments across countries requires specialized guidance to stay compliant and avoid costly mistakes. HJ Taxes provides tailored accounting and tax support for individuals and businesses with international considerations. By combining local expertise with knowledge of foreign income streams, they help expats navigate complex Czech filings while keeping their cross-border finances clear and organized.
Managing accounting, audits, and advisory in one place
When a business grows, unexpected financial and operational challenges can pop up at any time. Grinex keeps companies in Czechia on steady footing with integrated accounting, payroll, HR, audit, and advisory services. From financial reporting and corporate transactions to guidance on grants and subsidies, they help businesses spot risks early and make informed decisions. Connected to the international GGI alliance, Grinex also supports cross-border operations, giving companies with global ambitions clarity and confidence beyond the Czech market.
Filing U.S. taxes and FBARs from abroad
Moving overseas doesn’t cancel your U.S. tax responsibilities. Americans in Czechia still need to file annual returns and, in many cases, FBAR reports. Taxes for Expats (TFX) focuses exclusively on U.S. tax services for Americans living abroad, covering returns, FBAR and FATCA reporting, and planning for complex cross-border situations. A brief introductory call can clarify which forms you need, outline steps to stay compliant, and avoid penalties and confusion, even for those who haven’t filed in years.
Getting the right kind of health, life, and liability coverage
Insurance requirements often surface during tax season, especially for freelancers, entrepreneurs, and expats renewing residence permits. Health, liability, and property coverage can affect deductible expenses, reporting obligations, and proof of compliance. Maxima pojišťovna offers health, life, property, and liability coverage for individuals, families, and business owners. By clearly explaining coverage limits, eligibility, and policy conditions, they help clients choose plans that meet legal requirements and align with their financial and tax situation.
Setting up a Czech company quickly and correctly
Starting a business in Czechia involves choosing the right legal structure, securing a registered office, and registering for taxes. CzechCo helps expats navigate each step, offering guidance and completing tasks in under two weeks in most cases. Their services help founders move from idea to operation efficiently while avoiding administrative missteps. Consult with them on whether to set up an s.r.o. or register as a freelancer under a Živnostenský list, as well as on company formation and business plan preparation.
Keeping your accounting and payroll on track all year
Taxes are just one piece of managing a business or working as a contractor in Czechia. Even if you're only working for yourself, a little extra support goes a long way. PAYPLE provides year-round bookkeeping, payroll, and tax compliance support for expats, OSVČ, and companies. With a multilingual team, the firm helps contractors and founders stay organized, track deadlines, and maintain smooth operations so that tax season doesn’t turn into a scramble.
Handling Czech tax returns and registrations online
Pexpats is a Prague-based certified tax and accounting firm specializing exclusively in foreigners living and doing business in the Czech Republic. The team supports freelancers, employees, and company owners with tax returns, trade licenses, and VAT registration, after-tax audits, and free consultations before filing taxes. With multilingual support and fully remote processes backed by real human accountants, clients can manage Czech taxes and registrations entirely online while still receiving professional guidance. Pexpats also operates a technology platform for freelancers, offering online business registration setup, an invoicing tool, and tax calculators that help estimate obligations before filing.
Sorting out residency and double taxation issues
When income comes from more than one country, tax residency and treaty rules can get complicated fast. ATLANTAXA Consulting, led by registered tax advisor Martin Repa, guides expats and foreign companies through double taxation, cross-border income, and Czech filing requirements. The firm helps clarify residency status and treaty benefits, reducing the risk of overlapping tax claims, ensuring international finances are handled correctly and handle issues like stock options plans.
Taxes, filings, and cross-border rules can feel like a maze, but the right guidance makes them manageable. Any of these services can help you stay compliant, reduce stress, and handle your obligations so you can focus on the fun parts of living abroad in Czechia.
