On June 28, 2024, the Federal Ministry of Finance ( BMF ) sent out an update on the reporting obligation of cash registers and the TSEs used:
From January 1, 2025, all taxable persons are required to transmit the electronic recording systems - cash registers - and the TSE(s) they use to the authorities.
The taxable person is responsible for reporting the required cash register data. All electronic recording systems within the meaning of Section 1 (1) sentence 1 KassenSichV acquired before July 1, 2025 must be recorded by July 31, 2025 at the latest - including the TSE(s) used
The BMF letter also regulates the obligation to report EU tax parameters and odometers. The decommissioning of systems must also be reported or recorded.
How can be recorded:
Electronic data transmission will be possible via the "My ELSTER" program and via the ERiC interface from 1 January 2025. It is particularly important to note that all electronic recording systems of a permanent establishment must always be transmitted in the uniform notification - if, for example, you use different systems for room management and catering in a hotel, these must always be reported together in one data file (XML), taking into account the permanent establishment!
How does efsta support you in this?
The data required for reporting to the authorities is already recorded in our Efsta portal: Serial number of the electronic recording system (cash registers, ERP systems, etc.), the serial number of the connected TSE solution (regardless of whether cloud TSE or hardware TSE as well as TSE server solutions - all TSEs certified by the BSI are recorded) - purchase or commissioning date of all components. From 1.1.2025, we will offer a corresponding XML data export of the legally required information in the Efsta portal.
The XML data is formatted in such a way that it can be uploaded via the "My ELSTER" program and the ERiC interface for the taxpayer: this is compliance as a service!
