Trade<\/strong> is a continuous activity carried out independently in the entrepreneur\u2019s own name and on their own responsibility with the purpose of making a profit and under the conditions set out in the Trade Licensing Act.\u00a0A one-off job, an activity that is not carried out with the purpose of making profit, or work carried out on the basis of an employment relationship therefore do not qualify as trades. A trade<\/strong> may be carried out only based on a trade licence<\/strong> issued by the Trade Licensing Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trade business is regulated by the Trade Licensing Act. The current version of the law can be found on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Trade<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n On the website of the Ministry of Industry and Trade you can find a Trade Licensing Guide for Foreign Natural Persons<\/a> (citizens of EU, EEA, and Switzerland).<\/div><\/p>\n There are two main groups of trades: notifiable<\/strong> and permitted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n All you need to do to register a notifiable trade is to inform the Trade Licensing Office of your intention to register the trade and you may start your business immediately. There are several subcategories of notifiable trades:<\/p>\n These are trades that often require a permit of a competent authority. Professional competence (and possibly a certain length of experience) may be required as well as other requirements such as clean criminal record of all persons carrying out the activity, etc. A full list of permitted trades can be found in Annex 3 to the Trade Licensing Act<\/a>. These include for example road motor freight transport, running a travel agency, property and people security services, etc.<\/p>\n You can notify a trade or apply for the permission to trade in person at any trade department of Prague city district<\/a> offices. These trade departments can also be found under the name of Central Registration Points (CRP \/ in Czech CRP)<\/strong><\/a> as they allow you to notify the trade and to obtain a tax registration, inform the Czech Social Security Administration, the Labour Office and your health insurance company at the same time by filling out a Single Registration Form<\/strong>. Everything can be arranged by mail or online, too. You can also arrange a trade license through Czech POINT<\/a>.<\/p>\n Contacts for the individual Trade Licensing Offices in Prague can be found on businessinfo.cz<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Single Registration Form is used by entrepreneurs to fulfil their reporting obligations when starting and in the course of running a trade business. It replaces different types of forms that entrepreneurs have to submit before starting a business and in the course of pursuing it, be it at the Trade Licensing Office, the Czech Social Administration, or the health insurance company. You can use this form to report changes in your data or to suspend the business.<\/p>\n An application for the creation and submission of the electronic Single Registration Form and forms of the Ministry of Finance can be found on the website of the Trade Business Register<\/a>. The Trade Business Register<\/a> is a public register and it is used to look up individual entrepreneurs and their data.<\/p>\n For more information about the Single Registration Form and all notifications that can be submitted through it, see the website of the Ministry of Industry and Trade<\/a>.<\/p>\n Last update: 4 March 2025<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is a trade?
