This changes the timing of the mandatory interconnection of cash registers with payment card acceptance machines, EFT POS terminals from January 1, 2023, which would apply universally in the territory to all businesses that use cash and tax machines to issue retail receipts.
Because there is not enough time to complete the systems adaptation procedures by the end of 2022, the mandatory interconnection for 500,000 businesses is delayed and postponed. According to current data, one semester is announced with the aim of taking full effect from June 1st, 2023, while by the end of 2023 or a little sooner, the other tax mechanisms should also be interconnected.
