Expat Workshop: Self-Employment in the Czech Republic


Expat Workshop: Self-Employment in the Czech Republic

Are you considering becoming self-employed in the Czech Republic? Then this workshop is just what you need to make informed decisions about your next career move.

Why attend:

This practical and informative workshop is designed for expats living in the Czech Republic who are thinking about transitioning from employment to self-employment, or combining both. It provides clear, up-to-date insights into the legal framework governing these options, helping you understand your rights and responsibilities before making the switch.

You’ll learn about the definition of dependent work, the so-called “švarc system” and its legal implications, as well as the tax and immigration considerations that may arise when changing your employment status. The session will include real-world examples and guidance based on common challenges faced by expats working or running businesses in the Czech Republic.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Understanding the legal aspects of self-employment and employment combinations
  • Defining dependent work and recognising the risks of the “švarc system”
  • Exploring tax implications when changing employment status
  • Considering potential impacts on your residence and immigration status
  • Learning from real-life cases of mostly other foreign professionals and entrepreneurs

The seminar will be led by JUDr. Barbora Karetová, Ph.D., an attorney with nearly ten years of experience. In her practice, she primarily works with foreign clients living and working in the Czech Republic. She regularly lectures on this topic at Jobfair events in Prague and Brno, where the discussions with participants are often highly engaging.
