Important notice: changes to cash register rules from 1 January 2026 in Slovakia

From 1 January 2026, Slovakia will fully transition to eKasa-only cash register reporting, phasing out legacy fiscal devices, formally allowing cloud-based cash registers, expanding the scope of sales subject to recording, extending online response times, preserving controlled offline reporting, and mandating QR codes on receipts for public verification.

In general, changes include:

• Electronic cash registers and fiscal printers with fiscal memory will no longer be permitted.
• Retailers must use eKasa cash registers only (online, cloud-based/software, or virtual).
• Cloud-based (software) cash registers are officially allowed, reducing hardware and service requirements.
• The response time for online communication with the eKasa system is extended to 5 seconds.
• Offline sales remain possible but must be sent to the eKasa system later within statutory deadlines.
• The obligation to record sales applies to a wider range of sellers and services than before.
• Receipts must include a QR code enabling public verification of recorded sales.
