Equal-Salary directive

In 2023, the European Union adopted the Pay Transparency Directive 2023/970, which introduces major changes in the area of pay transparency. It significantly bolsters the application of the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women. This Directive, which member states must implement in their national legislation by 2026, binds employers to a number of obligations. Its implementation can be demanding and requires thorough preparation.

Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

In 2024, the EU completed the approval process for the Corporate Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which focuses on preventing and mitigating negative human rights and environmental impacts within corporate supply chains. The Directive substantially expands the responsibility of companies for the impacts not only of their direct business activities, but especially for the impacts of the activities of their subsidiaries and business partners. The new rules will affect companies operating in EU markets, with the effectiveness of the regulation differentiated according to the criteria of number of employees and company turnover. The first wave of companies is expected to be subject to the new requirements by 2027. The CSDD represents a key step towards strengthening corporate accountability for problematic aspects of their supply chains.

EU Taxonomy

The EU Regulation 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy Regulation) came into force in July 2020 and is part of the obligations for entities that are obliged to prepare an ESG report under the CSRD. The scope of the entities concerned is therefore the same as that set for the CSRD. The Regulation clearly defines what conditions an activity must fulfil in order to qualify as sustainable, i.e. compliant.

Legislative Changes in Agreements and Employee Benefits from 2025

An amendment proposal was published at the end of October, introducing the third version of changes in taxation and insurance premium contributions for income from Agreements on Work Performance (hereinafter "AWP") effective from 1 January 1 2025. These changes respond to data collected from the mandatory AWP records at the Czech Social Security Administration (hereinafter "CSSA") since July 2024, which showed that the originally approved amendment to Act No. 163/2024 Coll. and its concept of so-called reported agreements would not bring the expected results. Moreover, it would have meant a significant administrative burden for both employers and social security administration.

Amendment to the European VAT Directive - ViDA alias VAT in the Digital Age

In early November 2024, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) approved a proposal for an amendment to the European VAT Directive, which should bring a significant extension of electronic invoicing and introduce so-called digital reporting, i.e. the real-time transmission of issued VAT invoices electronically to the Tax Authority. Significant changes are also expected in short-term accommodation and passenger transport platforms. The package of changes, known as ViDA (VAT in the Digital Age), should be gradually implemented by EU Member States, with the first changes to be reflected in Member States' national legislations as of 2028. The proposed changes, consisting of three pillars, should affect almost all VAT payers established in the EU.
