EET Requirement in the Czech Republic: Return of Fiscalization in 2027

Tax reporting in the Czech Republic is based on the EET system (elektronická evidence tržeb). After it was abolished in 2023, the Chamber of Deputies voted on September 9, 2026, to reinstate it. Effective January 1, 2027, the reporting requirement will apply in a modernized, entirely software-based form.

Timeline of Fiscalization (EET) in the Czech Republic

The EET system was introduced to electronically record sales and report them to the tax authorities. It was rolled out gradually by industry. Following a suspension and subsequent abolition, the reporting requirement is now being reinstated.

  • 2016: The EET system was launched on December 1, 2016, for hotels, restaurants, and cafes; retail and wholesale businesses followed starting March 1, 2017.
  • 2018: The planned phases for all other industries are postponed indefinitely.
  • 2020: In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EET reporting requirement is suspended.
  • 2023: The EET system will be officially abolished on January 1, 2023.
  • 2027: The EET requirement returns on January 1, 2027. January is considered a grace period: The reporting requirement is in effect, but initial difficulties will be tolerated.

The system reports contact payments—that is, cash, card, and digital wallet payments made during in-person customer interactions—as well as cash payments arising from business activities. Remote payments, such as bank transfers or online store payments, are not included. The Financial Administration (Finanční správa) confirms each report with a confirmation code (POK). To learn what has changed compared to the previous system, read our article on EET 2.0 in the Czech Republic.

Starting November 1, 2026, businesses will register their terminals on the Financial Administration’s DIS+ portal, where they will also receive their cash register certificates. A maximum of ten certificates per terminal per day is allowed; therefore, businesses operating multiple cash registers should plan for this step well in advance.
