As part of the Fiscalization 2.0 project, it is planned to:
- establishment of a system for reporting non-cash receipts to the Tax Administration, namely receipts issued by state administration bodies today -- fiscalization of receipts issued in the B2G (Business to Government) segment
- implementation of a cashless payment system via an electronic invoice (eInvoice) in the B2B (business-to-business) segment with an integrated e-archive and active, unique and advanced online bookkeeping in the VAT system;
- the establishment of a free application for issuing eInvoices that will be made available to small taxpayers - for whom the costs of introduction would be disproportionate to the benefits they would receive from such a way of doing business.
The goal of the Fiscalization 2.0 Project is the establishment of a system for fiscalizing invoices issued in the economy (B2B) with the implementation of a cashless payment system via e-Invoice with an integrated e-Archive and active, unique, and advanced online bookkeeping in the VAT system in order to ensure a number of benefits for all stakeholders and business entities:
- simplified tax returns,
- reduction of the number of required forms (tax bookkeeping), accuracy of tax obligations, and, to a significant extent, their pre-fulfillment with data from the e-Invoice platform,
- transparent business and the possibility of insight into payment terms and compliance with payment terms,
- insight into the current business of an individual taxpayer,
- current credit checks,
- contribution to environmental protection by using a digital archive instead of a "paper" receipt archive,
- by reducing the number of copies of invoices and archiving them through Internet intermediaries,
- the possibility of sending attachments to the receipt and relieving the burden of paperwork,
- improving interoperability among actors involved in the billing process,
- the ability to track and link receipts and prevent tax fraud related to VAT refunds,
- business entities receive support for more efficient and competitive operations in the national and global context.
