Three operational scenarios for EET 2.0 are proposed: cautious minimum, standard, and optimistic maximum, each outlining requirements for retail and services. Key aspects include registration regimes, receipt handling, state applications, hardware, and internet protocols. Exemptions may apply to specific sectors, while impacts on operations involve employee training and adjustments for electronic receipts and offline capabilities.

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).
