SIC helps non-Czech native researchers. More than 20 scientists from Central Bohemia and Prague participated in the webinar focused on taxes

The Central Bohemian Innovation Center (SIC) in cooperation with Ernst & Young organized on 30 April a webinar focused on personal income taxation addressed to foreign researchers working in the Central Bohemian region. This webinar is part of activities resultant from the 1st international meeting of foreign researchers in Central Bohemia held last February as part of the SIC Welcome Office project. Its goal is to facilitate work and personal life of foreign scientists in the Czech Republic.

With this webinar SIC responded to the needs raised from the scientists as it was at this February meeting that foreign scientists expressed their interest in the issue of taxes. Foreign researchers’ personal situation can vary from country to country and is influenced by other aspects, SIC thus hopes that this event helped to clarify and significantly facilitate their work and personal life in the Czech Republic.
