As of January 1, 2013, the obligation of fiscalization is prescribed for – large and medium-sized entrepreneurs according to the provisions of the Accounting Act – regardless of the activity they perform, and for fiscalization taxpayers who, as one of their activities, perform accommodation services, as well as the preparation and serving of food (Label I area NKD 2007.).

This activity, as they explain, includes activities: accommodation – hotels, resorts, campsites, and similar accommodation; activities of preparing and serving drinks; activities of restaurants and other establishments for the preparation and serving of food; catering activities and other activities of preparing drinks and serving food.

Fiscalization taxpayers who, based on some criteria, must initiate the fiscalization process are obliged to carry out the fiscalization process for their entire activity, the Ministry of Finance states. They explain that this means that if a taxpayer, for example, performs hospitality and trade activities, they are a fiscalization taxpayer as of January 1, 2013, concerning the hospitality activity, but for the entire activity, which means it also applies to the trade activity.
