#➽ FAQ’S

#Is fiscalisation mandatory?

Yes, in many countries fiscalisation is mandatory, especially in regions with strict tax regulations. Requirements vary by country, but businesses - particularly in retail and hospitality - are often legally required to use certified fiscal devices or software to record POS transactions and issue tax-compliant receipts. Always check local regulations to ensure compliance.

#What’s the difference between fiscalisation and e-invoicing?

Fiscalisation secures POS transactions by recording sales in real time using certified software or hardware to ensure tax compliance and prevent fraud. It’s mainly used in retail settings.

E-invoicing is the digital exchange of invoices between businesses or with governments. It ensures invoice accuracy, authenticity, and often integrates with tax authorities for reporting.

#How fiscalisation works in Europe

Fiscalisation in Europe secures POS transactions through certified systems that record and report sales to national tax authorities. While specific implementations vary by country, most follow a similar process:

• The sale is recorded on a POS system or cash register.

• Transaction data is signed or encrypted using a fiscal device, secure element, or certified software.

• A fiscal receipt is generated, often with a unique identifier like a QR code or digital signature.

• The transaction is reported to the tax authority - either in real-time or periodically.
