VAT number in the Czech Republic

6.5.2022

The VAT identification number is generally used within the European Union to process intra-Community trade with goods and services for VAT purposes. It is therefore required by every entrepreneur who participates in the trade of goods and services among the member states within the territory of the European Union.

The Czech name for VAT number (VAT identification number) is DIČ (daňové identifikační číslo). It is composed of the code CZ and the root part / block of the tax number, which has either 8, 9 or 10 digits.

The tax numbers of Czech companies can be checked on the homepage of the Czech Ministry of Finance or on the EU homepage. They are the same as the tax numbers for income tax purposes.

The entrepreneur must indicate his Czech VAT number on invoices / tax documents issued by him.
