The discussion about EET – Electronic Sales Records is resurfacing in the Czech Republic.
Several years after the original system was canceled, conversations are emerging about a modernized version, often referred to as EET 2.
While no official decision has been made, indications suggest that EET 2 is likely to be implemented in the future. This is an issue that retailers, restaurants, and business owners should consider to prepare their operations in advance.
A quick reminder: how EET used to work
EET was introduced in 2016 to increase revenue transparency and reduce tax evasion.
Businesses were required to send transaction information to the tax authority and provide customers with receipts containing a unique verification code.
The system operated for several years before being canceled in 2023.
Supporters viewed EET as a tool for fairer business practices, while critics highlighted the administrative burden and technical challenges, especially for small businesses.
What we know about the potential return of EET 2
Available information suggests that EET 2 will be designed to be more modern, user-friendly, and technologically advanced.
Some anticipated features include:
- Automated data transmission via cloud systems,
- Lower administrative burden for small businesses,
- Better integration with modern POS and sales management software,
- Greater flexibility depending on business size and type.
Although details are not yet finalized, the trend toward digital business and demands for financial transparency indicate that EET 2 is a likely scenario in the coming years.
