Czech Republic Offering Tax Allowances To Shelter Refugees

The Czech Republic announced tax-free allowances for people who provide accommodation to foreign citizens fleeing Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The so-called solidarity allowances have to be requested and were authorized by a bill Czech lawmakers approved Monday. The country announced tax breaks this month for Ukrainians who draw paychecks from Czech employers and for gifts to Ukraine and aid organizations assisting it.

Other countries in Europe have enacted similar tax measures.
