How to pay the tax? Make sure you enter the correct account number and variable symbol

Once you've filled in and sent in your tax forms, all that's left to do is pay. But what information to use when paying your taxes? We'll explain the rules to make sure your taxes get where they need to go.

Bank account for tax payment

So you change the account number prefix according to the tax or fee, the middle part is determined by your local jurisdiction and the part after the slash is always the same. If we use our example from the text above to illustrate this, then the value added tax in the Karlovy Vary Region is correctly sent to account 705-77629341/0710.

In the tables you will find an overview of frequently used prefixes and account numbers of the tax authorities by region.

Account code by type of tax or fee

Bank account numbers of the tax authorities

Variable and constant symbol for tax payment

Another important element is the variable symbol (VS), by which the tax authorities can be sure that you have sent the payment. The taxpayer's tax identification number without the CZ is used as the VS.

In most cases, taxpayers will therefore indicate the following as the VS:

• birth number - natural persons,
• ID number - companies and legal entities.

The constant symbol (CS) is then chosen according to how you pay the tax. If you pay by bank transfer, you fill in 1148, if you pay by bank transfer, you fill in 1149. Then you just need to enter the correct amount and the tax payment will be credited in order.
