Starting on 1 November, the financial administration put into operation a testing environment for the electronic record of sales which provides every taxpayer with the opportunity to check whether their ERS software/application is capable of delivering the required data to the their tax administrator and, at the same time, accepting the fiscal identification code which proves that the provided services has been recorded.
Hospitality services providers have a little less than a month to test the software in a dry run as they are those who are scheduled to be the first group of businesses to be obliged to record the sales in the new fashion commencing 1 December. 1 March, 2017, marks a starting date for retail and wholesale and other business activities are to comply with the obligation during 2018.
It should be noted that failing to record sales or to issue a receipt to a customer may be severely penalised with a fine of up to CZK 500,000.
