Intensive checks on entertainment venues and owners' reactions
November 3, 2026
The Tax Department has conducted 1,200 checks on entertainment venues to determine whether owners are issuing receipts and complying with tax laws. These checks have caused dissatisfaction among owners, who are protesting the requirement to use specific electronic payment terminals. PASIKA, the association of entertainment venue owners, is calling for an evaluation of newer technologies like cloud systems, which they argue are less costly. PASIKA demands a suspension of administrative fines until a solution is found. This situation has created tension between business owners and government authorities.
