E-invoicing in Czech Republic
Czech Republic has a B2G-only e-invoicing mandate with no plans for mandatory B2B. Public authorities must accept e-invoices via the NEN platform. The country focuses on the monthly VAT Control Statement (Kontrolni hlaseni) for transaction reporting. B2B e-invoicing is voluntary and requires buyer consent.
TL;DR
| Phase | Status | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| B2G receiving | Live (Apr 2020) | All public sector entities must accept e-invoices |
| VAT Control Statement | Live (Jan 2016) | All VAT-registered businesses (monthly) |
NEN platform. B2G suppliers can optionally submit through NEN, which accepts ISDOC (Czech national format), UBL 2.1, EDIFACT, and Peppol BIS 3.0. Suppliers are not required to issue e-invoices — the obligation is only on public authorities to accept them.
VAT Control Statement. The more relevant compliance requirement is the monthly VAT Control Statement (Kontrolni hlaseni), which requires detailed transaction-by-transaction XML reporting for all transactions above CZK 10,000. This covers B2B, B2G, and B2C. Late submission incurs fines of CZK 1,000-500,000.
