What changes at 2,400,000 CZK

At 2,400,000 CZK you are above the 2,000,000 CZK flat-tax revenue ceiling, so the flat-tax regime is not available in any category. The comparison below is between lump-sum categories only.
The lump-sum allowance no longer scales with revenue here: 60% (capped at 1,200,000 CZK), 40% (capped at 800,000 CZK), 80% (capped at 1,600,000 CZK). Every additional koruna above the cap is fully taxable profit, which is why actual expenses start to matter at this level.
Even at 2,400,000 CZK, no lump-sum category reaches the 1,762,812 CZK taxable base where the 23% rate starts. You would only cross it with low actual expenses.
