Czech Republic Zivno (Trade License) Visa — no dedicated nomad visa: Tax Implications
How the Czech Republic Zivno (Trade License) Visa — no dedicated nomad visa affects your tax residency, and what to confirm before you commit to a long stay.
Because the Zivno route requires actual Czech self-employment registration, it genuinely does bring you into the Czech tax system in a way a foreign-employment-based nomad visa elsewhere wouldn't. Freelancers can access a lump-sum tax system (Paušální daň) combining income tax, social security, and health insurance into a single monthly payment (roughly 8,000 CZK/month as of 2026), or standard rates — 15% on income under about 1.76 million CZK, 23% above that threshold.
