Application for the remission of levy and penalties imposed for the breach of budgetary discipline

Hlavní informace

Natural and legal persons or organisational units of the state, which have been assessed a levy for the breach of budgetary discipline and a penalty for delay in payment of the levy, may apply to the General Financial Directorate (hereinafter referred to as “GFD”) for their remission through the tax office that imposed the levy or penalty. The GFD may remit all or part of the assessed amounts of levies and penalties for reasons worthy of special consideration.

The GFD has set out uniform rules for the assessment of requests for the remission of levies for the breach of budgetary discipline or penalties for delay thereof in Guideline D. The current Guideline can always be found on the website of the Financial Administration of the Czech Republic.
