The Financial Administration is launching a large preventive control campaign in sectors with a higher risk of non-compliance, including construction-related crafts, body care services, gastronomy and accommodation, and medical clinics. Inspectors will check whether businesses use an eKasa cash register, enable cashless payments, and display a visible notice informing customers about the obligation to record sales and issue a receipt.
The campaign is preventive rather than punitive. Inspectors will not primarily focus on checking sales records or imposing fines, but will inform businesses of their legal obligations and request corrections where deficiencies are found. After this preventive phase, regular inspections may continue with possible sanctions.
The main aim is to improve transparency, ensure fair competition, and protect consumers by encouraging businesses to comply with basic sales recording and payment obligations.
