Changes in the regulations on virtual cash registers in Poland

A draft regulation of the Ministry of Finance regarding changes in the regulations on virtual cash registers was published last week on the website of the Government Legislation Center. It provides that the software cash register will not have to print receipts. However, this applies to special cases.

The regulations will be adjusted to the planned extension of the absolute obligation to record sales with the use of automatic sale cash registers, first of all, automatic and self-service car washes.

The cash register in the form of software will not have to print receipts if it was placed in devices for the automatic sale of goods and services - according to the draft regulation published on Thursday on the website of the Government Legislation Center. The Ministry of Finance also wants to standardize the format of data recording.

Therefore, according to the draft, in the case of keeping records with the use of cash registers placed in devices for the automatic sale of goods and services, the taxpayer is not obliged to issue a fiscal receipt in paper form. In this case, the taxpayer will also not have to issue "periodic fiscal reports, fiscal settlement report, combined periodic fiscal reports, combined fiscal settlement report and fiscal event reports in paper form", as long as they are sent to publicly available computer systems and it is possible to make the writing or printing on these systems.
