Information for SIPO clients

From January 1, 2026, the SIPO service will no longer be exempt from VAT. The reason for this is an amendment to Act No. 235/2004 Coll., on value added tax. The prices of the service will therefore be increased by VAT at a rate of 21%.

We provide our customers with instructions on how to prepare for this legislative change:

  • If you pay your fees via SIPO in cash at ČP counters, you don't have to worry about anything. Starting with the January document, you will automatically be charged the new fee, which you will pay via the SIPO document, as usual, at any ČP branch.
  • When paying SIPO by one-time order from your bank account, you must pay the prescribed amount, including other information specified on the SIPO document, which we will send you at the beginning of each month as before.

If you pay SIPO by direct debit from your account, please make sure that you have set a sufficient limit for direct debits at your bank. If the direct debit limit is set at a sufficient amount to allow the SIPO payment to be debited even with the new service price, you do not need to do anything, we will take care of everything for you. If you need to increase your direct debit limit and are unable to do so within the deadlines set by your bank, please pay the SIPO document by means of a one-off payment order so that the payment is credited to the Czech Post account no later than the last working day of the given direct debit month, or in cash at any post office, even on the last working day of the month.

The current prices for the SIPO service are listed in the Czech Post price list Price list of Czech Post services.
