The Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic has reviewed the requirement on the constitutionality of the law on Electronic record of sales („zákon o EET”). The final decision of the court is that the law as a tool for regulating sales control is overall good. On the other hand, it has been concluded that there are some flaws in the law concerning the privacy of citizens and that attention must be paid to the content of the invoice that is a public document.

Fiji will soon join the growing number of countries that will start the fiscalization process, as of January 2018. Earlier in June this year, Regulation was officially published.

From January 1st 2018 all supermarkets and pharmacies will have to comply with the Regulation. Each sales point will be monitored by an EFD (Electronic Fiscal Device) that issues a digitally signed invoice and performs remote transfer to a dedicated tax administration server in Fiji. This invoice can be verified and stored on tax administration server in a digital form for an unlimited time.

The EFD under the Regulation must be accredited. Requirements for that are minimal and the time that developers have to fulfill in its adaptation is short, especially for the computerized POS developers. FRCS is inviting vendors to register and test their solutions with Tax Authority.
