# GKS 2.0: Soon mandatory for your sector as well?

Belgium is on the verge of a major shift with the introduction of the new generation of certified cash registers, known as **GKS 2.0**. This modernization not only improves the efficiency of fiscal control but also simplifies administrative processes across fraud-sensitive sectors.

With GKS 2.0, data is **automatically transmitted** to the tax authorities**in real time**. The system also **guarantees faster operation**and greater reliability, regardless of internet connection quality.

A key component of the renewed system is the **Fiscal Data Module 2.0 (FDM 2.0)**, also known as the “**black box**.” The current system is being completely overhauled to meet the latest government requirements. The new cloud-based FDM 2.0 now records all transactions**in real time**, making administration simpler and more efficient.

## Will you soon have to make the switch?

According to the current government agreement, the obligation applies to **all sectors sensitive to undeclared work and fraud**. The exact details still need to be finalized.

However, due to the **high number of daily transactions, cash payments**, and a strong reliance on **flexible or temporary staff**, we expect the following sectors will also fall under the new regulations:

- Hairdressers and beauty salons
- Takeaway shops, fry shops, and sandwich bars
- Food stores and night shops
- Small retail businesses, such as clothing, tobacco, or electronics shops

## The benefits for your business

Despite the (potentially) mandatory investment, switching to **GKS 2.0 and FDM 2.0** fortunately brings several advantages:

- **GKS premium:** Does your business already have a certified cash register system? Then you can apply for a premium that reduces your social contributions. The premium goes up to €500 per quarter (€800 for employees under 26).
-  **Investment deduction:** You benefit from a 120% investment deduction on purchases of a new FDM cash system.
-  **Simplified administration:** Thanks to the new regulations, certain administrative obligations are simplified or even automated. This saves your business both time and money!
-  **Time savings:** Since on-site inspections by the tax authorities are no longer required, you gain time to focus on running your business.
-  **No obligation to keep a receipt log:** Anyone using an FDM system no longer needs to maintain a separate receipt log.
