Type: Legislation
Starting in July 2025, businesses in Germany will be mandated to register their electronic cash register systems with the German Tax Authority. This regulation aims to enhance transaction transparency and ensure proper documentation. Systems acquired before 1 July 2025 must be reported by 31 July 2025, while those purchased after 1 July 2025 need to be registered within one month of acquisition. From January 2025, businesses will have the option to register through the My ELSTER platform and the ERiC interface. This initiative is part of a broader effort by the German Ministry of Finance to improve tax compliance.
Effective date: July 1st, 2025
