The French fiscalization system is built around the use of certified solutions. All point-of-sale (POS) systems must be certified before they can be used for financial transactions, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and accurate transaction recording. This framework promotes transparency and reliability in transactions and supports the stability of the tax system.

Type of fiscalization: Software

Under French fiscalization rules, point-of-sale (POS) systems must be certified by an approved body such as Infocert or LNE. All transactions processed by these systems must be digitally signed at the time they occur, with full records retained, including the date and time of each transaction. These records must also be securely archived and digitally signed. In addition, all system events are required to be signed and logged for future reference. This strict framework is designed to protect transaction data from alteration and to ensure accurate, transparent, and reliable tax reporting and collection
