Fiscalization of online cash registers in Poland

As we have stated before, the newest type of cash registers in Poland are online cash registers, which represent upgraded versions of the older cash registers with more functions, such as sending data to the tax authority and much more. Of course, to start working with them, they need to be properly fiscalized or activated.

More precisely, in the case of online cash registers, fiscalization should be understood as a one-time and unique process initiating the work of fiscal memory and protected memory and ending with the issuing of a fiscalization report. Before starting to keep records using online cash registers, the taxpayer, with the help of a service technician (a necessary condition), performs fiscalization, ensuring a connection enabling data transfer between the online cash register and the Central Repository of Cash Registers in a direct, continuous, automated manner or at the request of the Head of the National Revenue Administration in an electronic form corresponding to the logical structure specified in the Tax Ordinance. It is important to mention that, in the case of online cash registers, due to automation and digitization, the installation process has been significantly simplified; e.g., the obligation to report the cash register to the head of the tax office in order to obtain a registration number has been abolished. Information on fiscalization will be automatically stored in the Central Repository of Cash Registers, so the entrepreneur can proceed with fiscalization immediately.
