More precisely, from February 1, 2023, entrepreneurs conducting service activities in the form of car washes, including self-service car washes, are obliged to have cash registers. However, each car wash stand is treated as a separate car wash, and a cash register should be available at each sales stand. That was a big concern because, according to regulations, each place is treated separately and a cash register is required. But this, of course, is problematic from the taxpayers’ point of view because it is not convenient for them and their businesses. That is how they ask the Ministry of Finance a couple of questions in relation to whether some regulations for them will be introduced, maybe some postponed, and whether there is work being carried out in the Ministry of Finance on changing the regulations enabling car washes to install a central cash register to which all positions would be connected. We will monitor whether there are any changes in this field.
