If we look into history, we can say that fiscalization in Lithuania started in 1996, but it was introduced in its present form in 2012. In general, if we talk about the system of fiscalization, Lithuania belongs to hardware-based systems. That means that is mandatory to have a fiscal device or some fiscal components for performing fiscalization that needs to be connected with POS. The main subject is the fiscal memory block/board/fiscal module. The fiscal module represents a device that records, processes, verifies, accumulates, records fiscal data, and stores fiscal data. Different models of fiscal devices are placed on the market.
