Those all are the people who were lazy with their taxes

People waiting with tax declarations in Jindrisska post office, Prague
On the other hand they still had 3 more hours to send their tax declaration when I took this photo (yep, it was 9 pm today and you have to send it before midnight). There are rumors that last year there were people in Jindrisska post office at 10 pm just starting filling the forms. Personally I think those are not rumors...

Well, good thing is that due to changes in Czech tax law I had to pay much much less then I had expected = more money to buy unnecessary things :)

Prague has a really spectacular main post office

Queue at Prague main post office at about 9 pm
But if you go there after 8 pm when they close the main hall you better prepare for a long long wait in a queue. Once you get past the half opened doors it's usually only 30-45 minutes. Unfortunately this is quite normal. The strangest thing is that in this almost night times people go there with tens of letters or packages so the only two post officers here have a lot of work with everybody. Unfortunately I go there with tens of letters or packages, too.

... and the queue gets even longer as you can see in this and this post. The record length is when it's taxes time :)

To see out main post office in all its beauty, please go see Kakna's image :)

PS: The guy in front of me was actually from FedEx.
PPS: There is "no photos" sign so I don't know how Kakna did that photo :)

Friday night's post office queue

Prague - post office queue
Here you can clearly see who does taxes at the last moment. February would have ten more days and there will still be a queue of last-timers. On the other hand they all have three more hours to midnight so nothing to worry about. And yes, I stayed in this line today, too. Thanks God for nonstop post office.

Friday night post office queue

Friday night post office queue
Isn't it great that you can spend your Friday night waiting in a queue in front of a post office? I bet the last man has at least an hour of waiting ahead. Maybe two. I've been through this too.

Nobody in Prague knows more about your money than folks working here


This is the entry to the Prague 1's tax office on Stepanska street. A lot of people was sending them their quarterly VAT tax forms. I knew it because I saw the same address on their letters at the post office while I was sending ours :)

We have a really beautiful main post office at Prague (at Jindrisska street). I have an inside picture of it ... somewhere. I'll try to find it. Well, you can see it on Wikipedia - all four pictures are from Prague's main post office. It is forbidden to take pictures here :)
And, finally, an outside photo in one older post: "Prague's biggest post office"
