Czech lawmakers have voted to bring back the electronic records of sales (EET) system, with the new iteration, dubbed EET 2.0, scheduled to launch in January 2027. The Chamber of Deputies approved the proposal, signaling a significant shift in the country's tax administration.

This revived system is designed to be more user-friendly than the original EET, which operated from 2016 to 2020. Key changes include modifications to the range of data recorded, the format of receipts, and the types of payments that businesses will be required to report to tax authorities.

The government anticipates that EET 2.0 will bolster tax collection, projecting an annual revenue increase of around 14.4 billion Czech crowns. Beyond revenue generation, the legislation introduces several other measures aimed at streamlining tax processes and potentially increasing compliance across various business sectors.
