Czech President Signs EET 2.0 into Law. New Requirements Take Effect on 1 January 2027

On 22 September 2026, the Czech Financial Administration announced that President Petr Pavel signed legislation introducing EET 2.0, a new electronic sales reporting system in the Czech Republic. The law was signed on 17 September, and mandatory sales reporting under the new regulations will begin on 1 January 2027. Businesses operating in the Czech market will therefore need to prepare their POS systems for communication with EET 2.0.

What Changes Under EET 2.0?

The new system reintroduces mandatory electronic sales reporting in a simplified form. It aims to reduce the shadow economy, improve tax collection efficiency, and ease the administrative and technical burden on businesses.

One of the most significant changes is removing the requirement to print and provide customers with receipts for EET purposes. Businesses will only need to submit the required transaction data to the system.

EET 2.0 Implementation Timeline

According to information published by the Czech Financial Administration, the upcoming implementation milestones are as follows:

How to Prepare POS Systems for EET 2.0

Meeting the new requirements involves ensuring reliable communication between POS systems and EET. For retail chains operating across multiple locations, centralized management of the reporting process and monitoring the status of submitted documents are also essential. To address these needs, Exorigo-Upos offers SmartEET – a SaaS solution that enables centralized EET 2.0 management across an entire retail network.

SmartEET handles message preparation, signing, and submission to EET, and records the results of processing. By integrating through a single API, POS systems no longer need to manage the entire communication process with the tax authorities independently.

The solution provides, among other features:

  • Centralized EET management – a single integration model for POS systems across multiple locations.
  • System downtime handling – document queuing and automatic resubmission.
  • Monitoring and reporting – access to reporting statuses, transaction data, and error information through a single portal.
  • Simplified integration maintenance – centralized handling of changes on the EET side, eliminating the need to update multiple independent communication mechanisms.

Businesses should plan their integration work and prepare their POS systems for the new requirements well in advance, particularly organizations operating across multiple locations.
