Finance Minister Alena Schillerová of ANO says the government will not be able to avoid raising some taxes. Possible measures could include higher excise and refinery taxes, as well as other levies.
Speaking in a debate program on Czech Television on Sunday, Schillerová said several options were being prepared, including possible taxation of investment properties and certain addictive or otherwise harmful substances.
She said a combination of higher revenues and lower spending could save around 20 billion crowns or possibly more in the state budget. About half of the savings could come from higher revenues, primarily taxes. Schillerová said she now had a package of measures prepared and would present what she considers the most suitable options to the coalition.

Users of the eDoklady digital ID application, which allows people to identify themselves without a physical identity card, need to install an update to ensure the app continues to work properly, the Digital and Information Agency said.
The agency said it is doing everything to ensure that the system remains stable during the October elections. Although the update itself takes only a short time, the process could take longer when large numbers of people try to install it shortly before voting, it said.
Voters are therefore advised to install the update at least 48 hours before the election.

Preparations are in full swing for the Day of Czech Statehood. The holiday commemorates the death of Wenceslas, Duke of Bohemia, who was murdered in Stará Boleslav on Sept. 28, in 935.
The skull of Saint Wenceslas will arrive in Stará Boleslav at 7 p.m. on Sunday for the traditional pilgrimage to the Basilica of Saint Wenceslas, where the duke was slain. It will remain in the church throughout the pilgrimage.
At the ceremonial mass on Marian Square, the skull will for the first time be replaced by a newly made silver reliquary containing a relic of the Czech patron saint. This is to prevent the skull from sustaining damage due to repeated transfers.

The Association of Social Services Providers (APSS) is calling for stricter checks to identify illegal homes for elderly and disabled people.
It proposes a guide to help people recognise unauthorised facilities and a register where care providers could be checked. Rather than closing illegal facilities immediately, the association suggests placing them under temporary compulsory administration so their clients do not suddenly lose access to care.
The APSS says some unlicensed facilities fail to meet required standards, lack sufficient staff or fail to guarantee clients' rights.
The Labour Ministry plans to introduce a new Social Services Act with revised rules, but does not expect to submit it for another two years.

A lower state budget deficit would have been possible, but only by cutting spending on security, energy and transport infrastructure, Industry and Trade Minister Karel Havlíček (ANO) said in a television debate on Saturday. He said the government had rejected such cuts because they could have had a seriously damaging impact on the country's functioning. Around 97 percent of the budget consists of mandatory, legally required spending, according to Havlíček. The government will therefore have to start looking for savings in strategic areas in the coming years.
Mayors and Independents leader Vít Rakušan described the planned 386-billion-crown deficit as an “economic crime.” The opposition has called a vote of no-confidence in the government over the deficit.
