Obligation to use a new generation payment recording device for fuel stations
Existing devices will be transformed into “new generation fuel pump payment recorder devices” with an increased security level, capable of instant information transfer. Tax Procedure Law which covers this change and introductions of the new fuel payment recording devices has entered into force. Following the interpretation of this communique, the payment recorder devices, which are obliged to be connected to the pump units that provide fuel to the vehicles at fuel stations, can be transformed into new-generation fuel pump payment recording devices that can transfer relevant data electronically. Accordingly, dealer automation systems will be installed at fuel stations and the data in the system will be transmitted to the Revenue Administration electronically. In the new generation of the fuel pump recording device fuel sales will be carried out by entering the vehicle license plate number, fuel cannot be sold without entering the vehicle license plate number, and at the end of the fuel dispensing process, the receipt will be automatically issued with license number. Fuel pump payment recording devices that are already approved by the Ministry and which are currently in use must be replaced with new-generation fuel pump payment recording devices by 30 June 2022, and those without electronic recording units by December 31, 2023, at the latest. Fuel pump payment recording devices without an electronic recording unit will not be able to be sold or transferred to third parties by the fuel station operators as of January 1, 2022, as of the effective date of the notification. As of January 1, 2022, the old generation payment recorder devices will not be manufactured, imported, sealed, or sold.
