Because of the tenuous nature of the current government, plans for a flat tax may be postponed. But as the Prague Post explains, the government’s fall‐​back position is big, pro‐​growth tax cuts and expenditure limitations — so taxpayers will win regardless of the outcome:

Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek’s Cabinet, which won a slim vote of confidence Jan. 19, was voted into office thanks to an ambitious plan centered on economic reforms. …[T]he government plans to pursue canceling taxes on dividends and capital gains, as well as inheritance and gift taxes and the property transfer tax. …The Cabinet plans to reduce the share of mandatory expenditures on the overall state budget from its current 70 percent to below 50 percent by 2010. …The Cabinet’s weak support in the Parliament also makes it unlikely that the flat tax will be put in effect anytime soon.
