The Czech Ministry of Finance has presented a draft proposal for a revised electronic sales registration system, EET 2.0, with a planned launch from January 2027. The initiative is currently entering the consultation phase and is intended to replace the previous system, which was introduced in 2016 and later suspended, with a simplified and updated framework.

According to the draft, the system should remain compatible with existing EET devices and reduce the scope of reported data. The registration requirement would apply mainly to in-person transactions, including cash, card and QR payments, while standard invoicing and remote bank transfers would remain outside the scope. The ministry also plans to offer a free software solution for small businesses.

The proposal includes an optional “EET OFF” regime for micro-entrepreneurs who meet defined criteria, such as low annual income and participation in the flat-rate tax scheme. The broader reform package also contains selected tax adjustments, including the exemption of voluntary tips in the hospitality sector.
