- From 2026, payment terminals must be digitally connected to electronic cash registers to automatically match card payments with fiscal records.
- The connection is done online via the “Invoices and Payments” portal, requiring only the Terminal ID and payment provider name for physical terminals.
- Businesses with multiple registers must link terminals to the main server serial number; online sales tools handle the connection internally.
- Exemptions include vending machines, fuel sales, EV charging, and monopoly goods, but “mixed” businesses must connect if terminals are used for both exempt and regular sales.
- Deadlines: existing terminals must be connected within 45 days after the portal opens in March 2026; new terminals within two months of activation; penalties for non-compliance range from €1,000 to €4,000.
