Mr Novák owns a clothes shop. Which office gave Mr Novák permission to run his business?
In the exam (Czech)
Pan Novák je majitelem obchodu s oděvy. Který úřad vydal panu Novákovi povolení k podnikání?
- aThe district court.Okresní soud.
- bThe tax office.Finanční úřad.
- cThe trade licensing office.Živnostenský úřad.Correct answer
- dThe Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.Ministerstvo práce a sociálních věcí.
Why?
Selling clothes is a trade. A trade is registered at the trade licensing office (živnostenský úřad), which enters the businessperson in the Trade Register and gives them an extract from it. This extract proves that they may run the business. The tax office (finanční úřad) deals with taxes, not with permission to run a business.
