According to information from the agency, it is not uncommon for clients to be issued a so-called "pre-check" instead of a fiscal receipt, which contains the names of the dishes and is generated in the establishment's accounting program, or a screenshot with order details may be provided.
Such documents are not considered fiscal, do not confirm the fact of payment, and are not recorded in the tax system. The State Tax Service noted that such actions by unscrupulous taxpayers are aimed at concealing actual revenue and evading tax obligations.
The tax service clarified that when settling the bill, the waiter or cashier should announce the total amount of the order, inform about the payment method, and issue a fiscal receipt from the KKM in paper form to the client.
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 protects consumer rights.
The tax service urges citizens to insist on receiving fiscal receipts when paying in restaurants and cafes.
