On 15 December 2021, the Senate approved the Act on Compensation Bonus for self-employed persons (OSVČ), partners in limited companies and persons performing work based on agreements to complete a job or agreements to perform work. The Act has been approved in the form proposed by the Chamber of Deputies.

Thus, two compensation periods from 22 November to 31 December 2021 and a second bonus period from 1 January to 31 January 2022 have been approved. It will be possible to apply for the compensation bonus from 1 January 2022 and entrepreneurs can obtain up to CZK 71,000 in total.  The Financial Administration recommends that applications should be submitted from 1 January 2022 at the earliest, as there is a risk that applications submitted earlier may have certain defects.
