calculation can lead to an investment made too early or, conversely, a missed obligation. The general rule becomes clearer when you first determine which services qualify as restaurant and catering services and which sales are excluded.<\/p><h4><strong>The General Rule<\/strong><\/h4><p>If annual revenue from restaurant and catering services exceeds 25,000 euros, excluding VAT, a GKS obligation arises under the general rule. Beverages are excluded from this calculation.<\/p><p>\u201cMore than\u201d means that exactly 25,000 euros is not the same as exceeding the threshold. Please confirm the specific application.<\/p><h4><strong>According to the general explanation, what does not count?<\/strong><\/h4><p>Beverages, takeout meals, and regular food sales are not included in the calculation of the restaurant and catering threshold. However, the tax treatment of your revenue categories must be correct.<\/p><p>A business that offers both dine-in and takeout service must therefore carefully break down its revenue.<\/p><h4><strong>Why Sales Categories Are Important in the Register<\/strong><\/h4><p>When POS items and VAT codes are set up consistently, your accountant can better analyze the relevant revenue. A general \u201cfood\u201d category that doesn\u2019t distinguish between dine-in and takeout can make it harder to assess the data.<\/p><p>Make sure your menu, product groups, and reports align with your actual activities.<\/p><h4><strong>Exceptions and Special Situations<\/strong><\/h4><p>The GKS regulations include exceptions and situations related to, among other things, various activities, business locations, and specific services. A general website page cannot provide a definitive assessment of every tax situation.<\/p><p>Use the official GKS information and discuss your figures with your accountant or the Federal Public Service Finance.<\/p><h4><strong>What happens after exceeding the limit?<\/strong><\/h4><p>If you are subject to this requirement, you must register in a timely manner and use a certified system in accordance with the current regulations. As of July 1, 2026, GKS 2.0\u2014with a certified cash register and FDM\u2014applies to new businesses subject to this requirement.<\/p><p>Plan for hardware, registration, data, and training before the requirement takes effect.<\/p><p>Learn more about<a href=\"https:\/\/omespay.be\/en\/kassasystemen\/gks-2-0-en-blackbox\/\"> <strong data-start=\"413\" data-end=\"487\">GKS 2.0, the certified point-of-sale system and the new black box for the hospitality industry<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p><p>See also the <a href=\"https:\/\/omespay.be\/en\/kassasystemen\/gks-2-0-en-blackbox\/\"><strong data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"963\">GKS 2.0 and Deadlines<\/strong> <\/a>so you'll know in advance when to switch gears.<\/p><h4><strong>Checklist for Your Accountant<\/strong><\/h4><ul><li>Revenue excluding VAT<\/li><li>Restaurant and catering services separately<\/li><li>Beverages excluded<\/li><li>Takeout and regular food sales separately<\/li><li>Branches and activities correctly assigned<\/li><li>Official exceptions verified<\/li><\/ul><h4><strong>Making the right choice starts with how you operate<\/strong><\/h4><p>The 25,000-euro threshold is a specific calculation, not a rough comparison to your total hospitality revenue.
