The government has approved the reinstatement of electronic sales registration

Electronic sales registration (EET) is likely to return from January 2027. The government approved a proposal to reintroduce it today, Finance Minister Alena Schillerová (ANO) told journalists. The proposal, which will now be discussed by Parliament, is expected by the cabinet to bring CZK 14.4 billion annually into public budgets. It also includes tax changes, such as the restoration of some tax reliefs abolished by the previous government and adjustments to value added tax (VAT).

Under the EET system, both cash and cashless payments made during in-person contact with customers or at business premises will be recorded. Unlike the previous version of EET, businesses will not be required to issue paper receipts unless customers specifically request them.

The EET system was originally introduced by the ČSSD and ANO government in 2016, but from spring 2020 it was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic until the end of 2022 and effectively became voluntary. It was abolished in January 2023 by the government of Petr Fiala (ODS).
