New 2026 Decree: Updated Cash Register and Receipt Rules for Businesses and Non-Profits

  • The Federal Ministry of Finance republished a decree on cash registers and receipt obligations, replacing the 2019 version.
  • Public entities must use electronic cash registers if they are subject to the Corporation Tax Act, have annual turnover above €15,000, and over €7,500 in annual cash sales.
  • These rules also apply to non-profits, with exceptions for small events, club activities, and ancillary operations.
  • Simplified cash-based recording is allowed for outdoor sales, hut/wine tavern operations, and small non-profit canteens (up to 52 days/year), with the turnover threshold for this raised from €30,000 to €45,000.
  • Businesses exceeding both €45,000 turnover and €7,500 cash sales must switch to electronic systems and issue receipts, starting from the fourth month after exceeding the thresholds.
