Tax labels on a fiscal receipt: Đ, E, A and G explained
Next to the price on a receipt stands a letter — Đ, E, A or G. That’s the tax label and it says at which rate the item is taxed. Here’s what each letter means and why accuracy matters.
If you look closely at a fiscal receipt, a letter stands next to each item: Đ, E, A or G. It’s not a random mark — it’s the tax label that says at which VAT rate the item is taxed. Once you understand the system, it’s never a mystery again.
What each letter means
The system is simple: Đ is the standard rate (20%), E is the reduced rate (10%), A is VAT-exempt (0%) for a taxpayer in the system, while G is used when the seller is outside the VAT system (e.g. a flat-rate entrepreneur), so VAT isn’t charged at all. Which letters you use at all depends on your tax status.
Why the correct label matters
A wrong label means incorrectly calculated VAT — and that carries on into records, reports and work with your bookkeeper. If you ring an item that’s 10% as 20%, you wrong both yourself and the customer. So every item must carry the correct tax label, consistently.
How not to get it wrong
The trick is to set the label once — in the item catalog, rather than choosing it on every sale. Then the register puts the right label on every receipt itself, leaving no room for a slip in the rush at the counter.
In Tezga eKasa you assign each item a tax label once, and it’s applied automatically from then on — VAT per rate is calculated for you, with no manual thinking at the till.
