These can include:
- Fines: Establishments may face monetary fines if their cash register systems do not comply with the new regulations.
- Increased and faster tax inspection processes: Businesses may be subjected to more intensive and frequent inspections by the relevant authorities to check compliance with GKS 2.0. The inspections could be started based on the data gathered on the TA side (saved in the FPS Finance cloud service) and not only based on field-gathered data.
