“Deadline extension for conversion of cash registers”.

Cash registers

In principle, from January 1, 2020, all (older) electronic cash registers must have a certified technical security device to protect against manipulation of basic digital records. However, since a corresponding facility is currently not yet available on the market nationwide, the conversion period will be extended until September 30, 2020.

For cash registers that were purchased after November 25, 2010, and before January 1, 2020, based on earlier requirements and cannot be converted, the current transitional rule remains in effect: such cash registers may continue to be used until December 31, 2022.19
