Legislation news
Amendment to the Road Traffic Act
The Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament approved in the third reading an amendment to the Road Traffic Act which implements relevant EC regulations concerning the area of driving licences. However this amendment also introduces objective liability of owners and holders of vehicles in case it is impossible to identify the driver at the moment of committing a driving offence.
Amendment to the Value Added Tax Act in the Chamber of Deputies
The Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament discussed in the first reading the bill amending the Act No. 235/2004 Sb. (the Value Added Value Tax Act) and related acts. The bill is related to currently proposed pension reform which should lead, in a two-step process, to increase of the lower rate of tax from 10% to 14% as of January 1, 2012, and consequently even introduction of the sole rate of 17, 5% as of January 1, 2013. Thus it would mean another significant increase of the tax burden.

Domain rights in the Czech Republic are going through continuous development, one that concerns a very young area of law, which our courts are only gradually trying to settle. The majority of legal issues in this area arise from matters where entrepreneurs often underestimate the importance of domains at the beginning of their business enterprise. As a result, they are subject to risk by trying to get a head start and registering their domain first off. To reclaim such a domain is then very difficult and also frequently quite costly. VKŠ attorney at law Alena Kojzarová informed more on this matter and domain rights in an article, which came out in the last issue of a newsletter put out by an international human resources and consulting company Kienbaum and Partner.
