The ANO movement's EET 2.0 proposes a simpler, universally applicable electronic sales record system for all entrepreneurs, eliminating physical receipt printing and easing filing. With a digital application available for free, the initiative aims to relieve administrative burdens. Tax breaks will accompany the rollout, making it a key issue in upcoming elections.

The ANO movement has proposed EET 2.0, a new generation of electronic sales records that is significantly simpler and more business-friendly than the original system. According to Finance Minister, it will be a modern solution with minimal costs and several fundamental changes.
Complete records without exceptions
The main feature of EET 2.0 is its universal validity. "We want EET to be as broad as possible, without exceptions, because exceptions are the road to hell," the Finance Minister said in a recent TV appearance. Unlike the original system (limited to selected sectors), the new registration will apply across the board to all entrepreneurs.
Three big reliefs for entrepreneurs
The system includes significant measures to reduce administrative burden:
- No printing of receipts – EET 2.0 eliminates the requirement for physical receipt printing, saving costs on paper and printers.
- Faster filing – Entrepreneurs will have up to 7 days to report sales, reducing daily pressure and allowing accurate completion.
- No checks during the transition – The Financial Administration will not conduct inspections in the initial period to ensure a smooth rollout.
Technology available to all
A core change from the first EET is full digitalization. Entrepreneurs can download a free application for smartphones and tablets, removing the need for special hardware. "We want it to be completely intuitive and simple. Entrepreneurs will be able to download the software to their smartphone for free," the Finance Minister confirmed.
Tax breaks as compensation
ANO plans to accompany the system with tax breaks for affected entrepreneurs. The Finance Minister did not specify detils but described them as one of the "specific interesting things" still being developed in cooperation with the business sector.
Return to history
The original EET ran from December 1, 2016, but was effectively suspended from spring 2020 due to the COVID pandemic and fully abolished at the end of 2022.
