Michal is a practising tax adviser in the Czech Republic, with a focused practice advising businesses and individuals on complex Czech tax matters. He operates at the intersection of transactional tax planning, VAT and corporate tax compliance, real estate tax structuring, bookkeeping and accounting support, and individual taxation, providing pragmatic and technically robust guidance.
His professional experience spans international advisory firms and a regional tax practice, combining a cross-border perspective with in-depth knowledge of the Czech regulatory environment. This combination enables him to provide clear, commercially focused and defensible tax advice to clients.
Michal holds a Master’s degree in Taxation and Accounting (Ing.) from the Prague University of Economics and Business, following undergraduate studies in Business Administration at the University of West Bohemia in Plzeň. His education provides a strong quantitative, analytical and commercial foundation.
He is a registered tax adviser with the Chamber of Tax Advisers of the Czech Republic, supporting his ability to advise and represent clients in tax matters before the Czech authorities. His professional career includes tax advisory roles at BDO Czech Republic, where he progressed from Consultant to Senior Tax Consultant, and at Tax protectione, where he further developed his advisory and entrepreneurial expertise.
Michal advises on a broad range of tax and accounting matters commonly faced by businesses and individuals in the Czech Republic. His areas of expertise include:
He regularly advises clients on the VAT treatment of real estate transactions, cross-border business activities, bookkeeping and accounting matters, and practical responses to enquiries and audits conducted by the tax authorities. He also provides guidance to individuals regarding the preparation of personal income tax returns, including the identification of taxable income, deductible expenses and other relevant reporting obligations.
By combining tax advisory expertise with an understanding of accounting and bookkeeping processes, Michal is able to assess tax matters in the context of a client’s underlying financial records and day-to-day business operations. This integrated approach supports accurate reporting, effective tax compliance and well-informed business decisions.
His background in actuarial and financial subjects supports an analytical approach to tax modelling and cash-flow-sensitive solutions. This is particularly valuable for small and medium-sized enterprises, property developers and privately held groups.
Michal contributes to professional discussions through presentations, client seminars and industry events addressing tax, accounting and transactional matters. His activities include sharing practical insights into VAT, bookkeeping and accounting requirements, tax due diligence, tax risks in mergers and acquisitions, and other current issues affecting businesses and individuals.
He remains engaged with the Czech tax and corporate environment, with experience spanning tax advisory, accounting support, compliance, transactional assistance and corporate governance.
Clients value Michal’s technical accuracy, commercial awareness and practical experience with both international and Czech tax matters. His experience at a global accounting firm exposed him to multi-jurisdictional transactions and international best practices. His subsequent work at a well-established regional firm has given him a strong understanding of local business conditions and the practical approach of Czech tax authorities.
This combination of international perspective and local expertise enables him to develop tax positions that are both commercially effective and defensible before the authorities.
The Czech tax environment is characterised by active VAT and transfer pricing scrutiny, frequent legislative developments and increasingly detailed tax enforcement. For businesses operating in areas such as real estate, e-commerce and cross-border services, seemingly minor technical decisions can result in significant VAT exposure, additional tax liabilities or the denial of deductible expenses.
Accurate bookkeeping and properly maintained accounting records are also essential for reliable tax reporting and effective communication with the tax authorities. Specialist tax and accounting advice helps reduce the risk of unexpected tax assessments, supports effective dispute management and ensures that business and transactional structures are both tax-efficient and compliant with Czech legislation.
Michal advises a broad range of clients in the Czech Republic, including:
His advisory work supports clients in acquisitions, reorganisations, real estate investments, ongoing bookkeeping and accounting, routine tax compliance and individual tax matters. He tailors his advice to the commercial circumstances and objectives of each client.
He also collaborates with students and junior advisers, contributing to professional development, mentoring and the transfer of practical tax knowledge.
Michal takes a client-centred approach focused on transparent risk assessment, practical implementation and clear communication. He aims to present tax and accounting matters in a way that is understandable to business owners, managers and other non-tax specialists while maintaining the technical rigour expected of a qualified tax adviser.
His approach includes:
This pragmatic and analytical methodology enables clients to make informed decisions while managing their tax and accounting obligations effectively.
For businesses and individuals facing Czech tax issues, specialist advice can help prevent avoidable liabilities and improve after-tax outcomes. Whether the matter concerns a transaction, bookkeeping and accounting, ongoing compliance, a tax inspection or the preparation of a personal income tax return, an adviser with up-to-date knowledge of Czech tax practice can translate complex rules into practical and commercially relevant solutions.
Michal offers a combination of technical tax expertise, accounting knowledge, transactional experience, practical understanding of the Czech market and a clear appreciation of the needs of both businesses and individuals.
