Czech bureaucracy is hard enough without the language barrier. Here are 5 words that will make your financial life in Czechia a lot less confusing:
Sleva na dani — your tax credit. Every taxpayer gets one. It reduces what you owe.
Daňové přiznání — your tax return. The form you file by May 4 (electronically) if you want your deductions.
Odvody — the deductions on your payslip. Social insurance + health insurance. The reason your net is lower than you expected.
Výplata — payday. The day the money actually hits your account.
Účtenka — receipt. Keep them. You'll need them for deductions.
Save this for the next time you're staring at a Czech document wondering what it says.
