Do companies in Romania that have coffee machines and soft drinks do need to have cash registers?

A reminder for the operators of the vending machines that they have the obligation to equip them with cash registers, according to Law 136/2019. The maximum endowment period that the Government extended until December 31st, 2021 has expired without a new postponement date.
Therefore, the vending machines should issue a tax receipt from 2022, given that the authorities did not come in time with new clarifications and postponements. Currently, the law is not yet clear on the type of cash registers that will have to be installed on vending machines. Another normative act is expected to clarify the way in which the acquisition and installation of fiscal cash registers will be made. The same technical approval procedure will probably be followed as in the case of the classic cash registers with electronic diaries, which means that the process will be a long and difficult one.
