Albania
Albania is a fiscal country since 2004. From the early beginning, it was mandatory to use the fiscal printer and ECR’s. Through time, the fiscal requirements included also the use of electronic journals (EJ) and GPRS. As of today, the fiscal device in Albania includes fiscal cash register/fiscal printer, fiscal memory, customer display (optional), and GPRS device. However, from September 2021 all cash receipts in business to customer transactions must be fiscalized by sending the transaction data in real-time to the authorities, using the Internet connection, and by signing them with digital certificates.
Type of fiscalization: Hardware (Software from 2021)
