The hardware-software fiscalization model was introduced in the HoReCa industry in Belgium, starting its application in 2016.
Belgium
Fiscalization is mandatory for all on-premise sales in restaurants or catering services provided by taxpayers whose turnover exceeds EUR 25,000 and, as such, must be registered in the cash register system. For each sale, a fiscal receipt must be produced by the certified cash register. There is no automatic data exchange with the Tax Authorities. To ensure accuracy and reliability, there are predefined devices that can be used and that undergo a certification process where they must meet the requirements of FPS Finance. In fact, there is a mandatory certification process for fiscal devices with POS systems (cash register, POS system, and fiscal data module). The FPS Finance is the official Tax Authority responsible for overseeing fiscal obligations.
