The new updated version 1.6 of the Technical Guide for Issuing Approvals for Electronic Fiscal Device Elements is published in The Republic of Srpska

The Tax Authorities in the Republic of Srpska have just published the new version of the Technical Guide for Issuing Approvals for Electronic Fiscal Device Elements, representing an official guide for new fiscal devices. The new version is marked as 1.6 with a new part added in the area with examples of receipts in special cases. The changes concern adding the receipt for doing a refund to the customer, precisely a Sale-refund receipt in case of refunding money to the customer. More details are as follows.

Refunds will no longer be possible using the Correction order, which was possible in the previous fiscalization system.

Refund of money to the customer for already purchased goods or services or cancellation of the purchase in the case of a previously paid advances is recorded by the person subject to fiscalization by issuing a fiscal receipt of Sales-Refund (PR) or Advance-Refund (AR), where the seller must enter:

• Identification of the customer (customer ID)
• Reference to original Sales-Sale (PP) receipt, or Advance payment (AP) receipt, or other referenced receipt

In addition, a Receipt copy of the Refund is issued immediately after the Refund transaction and remains with the cashier as proof that the refund has been made to the customer.

Instead of an Order for Correction, the taxpayer of fiscalization needs to issue a Receipt copy-refund (a copy of the refund) on which the customer who receives the money back must put his handwritten signature.
