- Belgium is transitioning to the new GKS 2.0 certified cash register system, focusing first on the hospitality (HoReCa) sector.
- Due to equipment shortages, the tolerance period for compliance is extended until 31 March 2026; businesses can voluntarily adopt GKS 2.0, register online, or use GKS 1.0 temporarily.
- Full enforcement for new installations in hospitality is expected from April 2026, with a phased replacement for existing systems.
- The government is considering extending GKS 2.0 to other sectors like retail, but no final decision or legal obligation exists yet for non-HoReCa businesses.
- Businesses outside hospitality are not required to act now but should monitor regulatory updates, as further clarifications are expected this year.
