Company recently established new branch office in Prague and moved several key employee's here. As help company decide to cover some initial expenses to rent apartments for this employee's( agent fee, damage deposit, first rent month ) What is an options how it can be executed? Since contract is between person and landlord, company cannot pay directly to landlord's account. Simplest way is pay required amount to employee as bonus, but in this case taxes is doubled amount. Does it some possibilities how can it be legally executed in Czech Republic to minimize taxes in this? Maybe it can be some Internal document (resolution) + rental contract + paragon?

Dear Alexander,

The fees and expenses are considered a relocation expenses. The most of the expenses inclusive rental costs for private apartments shall be taxed to employees as a bonus or similar supply.

The bonus is subject to Social Security, Health Insurance and Income Tax as other similar parts of gross salary.

There is only possibility how to contribute to employee to apartment rental cost. According to Art. 6, Section 7 (i) Tax Law.

This provision allows employer to contribute to employee the maximal amount of CZK 3500 every month for his temporary accommodation assuming that apartment is located in other municipality than employee’s permanent residence. The contribution shall be provided non-cash so the contribution shall be paid directly to Lessor.
