A central element of the RKSV is the use of a security device that must be used for document signatures. Upon request, special data exports such as a DEP7 report must be presented and a connection to the Ministry of Finance's online financial portal (FON-BMF) must be established for the purpose of data exchange. By using the efsta EFR middleware, you are compliant with the law!
Since April 1, 2017, cash registers in Austria have had to be equipped with signature creation units (SEE) in accordance with the Cash Register Security Ordinance (RKSV) in order to prevent the manipulation of recording systems.

The RKSV (Cash Register Security Ordinance) is a regulation in Austria that obliges companies to use electronic cash registers in order to ensure protection against the manipulation of cash transactions. The aim of the RKSV is to prevent tax evasion and ensure a complete record of business transactions. The RKSV ensures that all relevant data is recorded in a tamper-proof and traceable manner in order to guarantee tax transparency.
The RKSV (Cash Register Security Ordinance) uses several technical and organizational measures to prevent the manipulation of data and to ensure the integrity of the recorded business transactions.
From April 1, 2017, all POS systems must have a technical security device (signature creation device - SEE). These signature creation devices can be purchased from a certification service provider that offers qualified signature certificates. Or the Prime Sign certificate can be purchased directly from efsta.
A certified security device to fulfill the RKSV is a technical component to ensure that the recorded transactions are tamper-proof. This security device is crucial for the implementation of the RKSV and essentially consists of a signature creation device that ensures that every transaction is digitally signed and thus protected against manipulation. Only signature solutions certified in Austria may be used.
