Who might be impacted by EET 2.0?
- Retail, gastronomy, and high-end services are examples of security.
- Mobile sales, "at the client's place" crafts, and flat tax (based on limits) are all on the edge.
- Rather external: entirely cashless, B2B with invoicing.
Potential limitations and exceptions
- Turnover thresholds (such as a simplified regime up to a specific yearly turnover).
- particular industries (markets, farmers, seasonal sales).
- Flat tax: total exemption or extremely straightforward reporting.
Impact of traffic: current considerations
- QR codes and electronic receipts (which lower printing costs).
- Internet-free fallback (offline buffer + later sending).
- Procedures: returns, gift cards, tips, and cancellations.
- Employee education (offline mode, when to issue, and what to do in the event of an error).
