Ukrainians paid $380M in taxes into the Czech Republic budget over the last year.

As of the end of April, 91,000 Ukrainian refugees legally work in the Czech Republic, writes Hospodarske Noviny. About 85% of working Ukrainians are in insured labor relations and pay insurance premiums and taxes to the state. In 2022, Ukrainians paid the equivalent of $376M in taxes and fees.

Ukrainians pay insurance premiums on their own if their monthly salary exceeds 10,000 kroner ($465), and in the case of concluding an employment contract, under which you can work no more than 20 hours a week, insurance premiums are paid when earning more than 4,000 kroner.

The Ministry of Labor indicated an increase in the number of Ukrainians who signed long-term full-time contracts with employers this year. At the same time, about 80% of Ukrainians still work low-paid jobs. At the end of April, 225,100 Ukrainians aged 18 to 65 in the Czech Republic had protection visas.
