Understanding your cash register's position.

TSE, receipts, data access and notification: understand key topics for electronic tills and identify questions for your tax adviser or technology partner.

Understand your existing register first.

A technical inventory starts with traceable information and a demonstration on your own system. It supports the conversation but does not certify complete compliance with the law.

Practical recommendations

Create an equipment list.

Assign the registers and apps in use to each location. Add the manufacturer or provider, model and available serial numbers. The list gives you a basis for discussing the equipment; whether a system falls within the law's scope still needs separate assessment.

Practical recommendations

For your register provider

Ask to be shown TSE status, a receipt, a cancellation and a data export. Ask where the associated documents are stored and how to retrieve them later. Leave missing information open rather than drawing conclusions about the whole setup from a single function.

Current law

Register notification

For systems subject to notification, relevant information includes details of the system, the TSE and acquisition or decommissioning dates. Notification is made per business establishment. Compare the technical inventory with existing notification documents without treating the two as equivalent.

Is your existing cash register suitable for possible changes from 2028?

Assess existing cash registers objectively: clarify system scope, updates and data access. The draft alone does not answer whether replacement will be needed.

What is planned for 2028
  1. System and version
    Only a concrete inventory allows a useful discussion about possible updates.

  2. Demonstrate functions
    One successful test does not prove comprehensive suitability for rules that are not yet final.

  3. Updates and promises
    Leave open which adjustments can only be firmly promised once the law is final.

Practical recommendations

List your existing technology.

Start with a register actually in use. Gather its information and ask the provider to go through open technical questions with you directly on the system.

List your existing technology.
  1. Which registers, apps and connected payment systems do you use at which locations?

  2. Keep the provider, model, serial number, TSE documents, acquisition date and existing notifications together where you can find them.

  3. Ask for a demonstration of receipt provision, cancellations and data export on your own register.

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need to buy a new register now?

The plans for 2028 do not create a blanket obligation to buy a register today. What matters is the rules already in force, your business processes and whether your existing register is suitable. Our check helps you separate these questions.

Has the cash-register obligation for 2028 already been enacted?

On 23 September 2026, the Federal Cabinet approved a government draft. This is a step in the legislative process, not yet an enacted law. Changes remain possible.

Can I use the check without signing up?

Yes. You receive guidance directly on the page. Your answers stay in your browser during the check. They are not copied into a contact form.

Can I get binding legal advice here?

No. The check provides guidance on selected cash-register rules based on your answers. For special cases or unclear information, it shows which questions to discuss with your tax adviser.
