Reporting Deadlines
The legislator requires you to register your cash register (‘notification obligation’). The following regulations and deadlines are applied since 2025:
- Start of Reporting Process: From January 1, 2025, you can start reporting your cash register.
- Deadline for New Cash Systems: Any cash systems bought after July 1, 2025, need to be reported within a month.
- Deadline for Existing Cash Systems: Systems bought before July 1, 2025, need to be reported by July 31, 2025, at the latest.
- Exception for Decommissioned Systems: If you have purchased your MINI before July 1, 2025, and it was already decommissioned by that date, please contact your tax supervisor for further information.
- No Exceptions to Reporting: No exceptions, except for taxi meters. Leased or rented cash systems are treated the same as purchased ones.
-
Reporting Only Digital: Reporting your cash systems can only be done digitally. You can use "Mein ELSTER" or the ERiC interface. Alternatively, you can upload an XML file on www.elster.de or soon simply and conveniently through orderbird. We will, of course, keep you updated on this.
