Slovak Financial Administration Urges Businesses to Ensure Correct Character and Diacritic Printing on Cash Registers

The Slovak Financial Administration reminded entrepreneurs to ensure cash registers and printers correctly print all Slovak characters, including diacritics. Non-compliant devices may lead to fines, so businesses are advised to check settings and consult their service provider if needed.

Under Act No. 384/2025 Coll., cash register printers must support all Slovak characters. Non-compliant cash registers may lead to fines from €150 to €6,500, while using a device that cannot print Slovak characters may result in a minimum fine of €1,500.

Entrepreneurs are advised to inspect their devices and contact a service technician or cash register provider if needed. The warning follows a media-reported case involving “Langoš from Kvetoslavov,” where several legal violations were found during an inspection.
