Abstract :
This contribution disproves the hypothesis that most of the changes in Czech direct tax law are adopted to minimise negative aspects connected with the Covid-19 pandemic and the Ukrainian war On the contrary, most of the significant changes in the Czech tax law adopted in the last three years (abolition of the super-gross wage, lump-sum tax, tax relieves, etc ) had no connection to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus causing Covid-19 illness or the war in Ukraine These tragic incidents were just a pretext to advance political goals.
