  • Which equipment is to be reported and who is required to quantify and list the RP on the tax bill? do I report?

Imported from abroad into the Czechia and put into circulation = YES/Yours
Manufactured / own production = YES/Yours
Purchased in the Czech Republic and resold = NO ** / ***

** but only if you have the amount of the recycling contribution calculated on the tax receipt from your supplier. DO NOT REPORT products purchased and pre-sold from a Czech supplier, i.e. equipment that you are not the first to place on the Czech market.

***If the invoice from the Czech supplier does not include this recycling contribution, you are obliged to check why the contribution is not listed. It may be that this is just a temporary technical error and your supplier can email you back specifying the amount of the contribution or send you a corrected tax document where the recycling contribution must be prominently stated.

In the event that this is not a technical error and your supplier does not fulfil the legal obligation of “free rider” and you want to resell the purchased equipment, you are obliged under Act No. 542/2020 Coll. Section 10 – Responsibility of the distributor. 

If a selected product does not come from a manufacturer who is registered in the List of Manufacturers or instead of whom an authorised representative is registered in the List of Manufacturers, the rights and obligations of the manufacturer provided for in this Act shall be vested in the distributor of that product. 
Consequently, this legal obligation passes to you. Thus, you will need to submit a follow-up report for that equipment and pay the recycling contribution to your compliance scheme and on that basis you will calculate the amount of the contribution on the tax document..
