Czech real-time takings recording system set to end this month

A system under which retailers, restaurants and other businesses in Czechia must record their takings in real time looks set to end by the end of the year. The Senate’s Economic Committee backed the move on Wednesday, with the upper house set to vote on the matter next week.

MPs have already voted to remove the system, known in Czech by the acronym EET, which was introduced by the previous government of Andrej Babiš.

The current cabinet say that the system was a pointless burden on both business people and the state.
