According to the agency's information, clients are often offered a so-called "pre-check" with a list of ordered dishes, generated in the establishment's accounting system, or are sent a screenshot with order details.
The GNS emphasizes that such documents are not fiscal receipts, do not confirm the fact of payment, and are not registered in the tax system. These actions by unscrupulous taxpayers are aimed at concealing actual revenue and evading tax payments.
The tax service clarified that when settling the bill, the waiter or cashier should announce the total amount of the order, clarify the payment method, and provide the customer with a fiscal receipt from the KKM in paper format.
It is important to remember that the fiscal receipt is the only document that confirms the registration of payment in the tax system and the receipt of taxes into the budget, as well as protecting consumer rights.
The tax service urges citizens to insist on receiving fiscal receipts when paying in restaurants and cafes.
