With SCE 2.0, Belgium aims to raise tax compliance in the POS area to a new digital level.
The Belgian tax authorities officially announced on June 25, 2025, that the introduction of SCE 2.0 (Système de Caisse enregistreuse) will be postponed. Instead of July 1, 2025, as originally planned, the new regulation will now come into force on January 1, 2026. To the official announcement of the tax authority
According to the official announcement by the Belgian tax authorities, a staggered transition from July 1, 2026 is planned for existing systems under SCE 1.0, depending on the commissioning date of the respective POS system.
The postponement was necessary because no new POS systems or FDMs are currently available that would be compatible with the SCE 2.0 specification.
In addition, the Belgian government is examining whether to extend the obligation to use SCE 2.0 to other sectors beyond the HORECA sector in the future.
In order to provide the best possible support for POS manufacturers and companies in Belgium, efsta is currently working on a new EFR solution for Belgium. This is being specially developed to meet the requirements of the SCE 2.0 regulation and to enable seamless integration into existing POS systems.
