PRAGUE, Czech Republic - The Czech government plans to introduce year a 15 percent flat tax on personal income, a newspaper reported Monday.
"At the moment, the tax rate is certain," Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek told the Hospodarske Noviny daily. He said the government still has to approve various tax deductions in the new system. Government officials were not immediately available for comment.
Currently, the tax rate ranges from 12 to 32 percent, depending on the income.
