Like many countries, the Czech Republic has experience with e-invoices for the purposes of reducing administrative strain, reducing associated costs and greater visibility into the nation’s transactions.
It has yet to implement a full mandate on electronic invoicing for any type of transaction. This could change quickly, however. Keep this page in your bookmarks to stay on top of the country’s e-invoicing plans.
There is no mandate for issuing electronic invoices for B2B transactions in the Czech Republic, nor have any plans been unveiled for the eventual implementation of a B2B e-invoicing mandate.
Issuing e-invoices is optional, but a supplier must acquire the buyer’s consent before legally transmitting an invoice electronically.
There is no blanket mandate covering B2G transactions in the Czech Republic.
Central, regional and local authorities must accept and process e-invoices if they meet the format according to the European Standard. That said, suppliers are not required to issue e-invoices.
These authorities are also obliged to use the Národní elektronický nástroj (NEN) platform as part of the e-procurement process unless they have been authorised to use another tool.
These are the dates to know in the Czech Republic’s e-invoicing journey.

No, there are no mandates for issuing electronic invoices in the Czech Republic. However, public authorities are required to be able to receive and process e-invoices should a supplier voluntarily issue one.
B2C e-receipts were abolished in 2023. The EET portal and related infrastructure have been decommissioned. As a result, there is no longer a legal obligation to issue e-receipts or report sales in real time, and taxpayers cannot voluntarily continue using the EET system.
