Some of the problematic regulations in the so-called Ordinance on cash registers will be revised and may change.
The deadline for all traders (registered and unregistered for VAT) using sales management software in their retail outlets (SUPTO), in which they must bring their activities in line with the requirements of Ordinance H-18, will be extended until the end of September 2019, confirmed the Minister of Finance.
All traders, regardless of whether they are registered for VAT and using sales management software, have until the end of September 2019, in which they must bring their activities in line with the new requirements. They will be able to continue using their old cash registers until 30 Sep. 2019, and from the beginning of October the simultaneous use of a cash register and sales software in one store will not be allowed if they are not connected, added the NRA.
For those who do not use sales management software, the deadlines remain unchanged. VAT registered companies that do not use software, but report their sales only at the cash register, are required to change or modify it by the end of March 2019. Companies without VAT registration and not using sales management software must change or modify their cash registers by the end of June 2019.
Until 29 Mar. 2019 is the deadline in which the owners of e-shops, started before 29 Dec. 2018 and receiving payments in cash or with bank cards, must submit information to the NRA about their electronic platforms.
By the end of March 2019, fuel traders must start printing on each receipt data on the purchase price, the excise duty due, VAT and the selling price of the fuels they sell. By the end of June 2019, fuel traders must bring their electronic systems with fiscal memory in line with the requirements.
In the coming days, a draft amendment to Ordinance H-18 will be published, which will regulate the new deadlines. The project will be proposed for public discussion, while meetings of NRA experts and business representatives continue to clarify the controversial points in the ordinance.
