Meaning of manufacturer-declared cash register in Sweden

Fiscal requirements in Sweden require sellers to have a cash register and record sales and other transactions with it. As we have stated before, the cash register needs to be connected with the control unit device. But, one of the requirements is to have a manufacturer-declared cash register. 

In general, cash registers in Sweden must be certified and reported to the Swedish Tax Agency. Then, the Swedish Tax Agency has approved cash registers on its list that must be manufacturer-declared by the responsible manufacturer or developer.

But, the Swedish tax agency does not perform certification directly. The Swedish Tax Agency approves cash registers indirectly via so-called manufacturer declarations. It is up to the cash register manufacturers to certify that they comply with all the regulations of the Cash Register Act. In such a declaration, the cash register manufacturer states that the solution complies with all laws and regulations.
