- Germany’s Finance Ministry has drafted a law requiring tamper-proof electronic cash registers with certified security systems from January 2027 for businesses with over €100,000 in annual revenue.
- The measure targets tax evasion and VAT compliance in cash-heavy sectors.
- Receipts would no longer be mandatory for transactions under €30, but the sale still must be recorded in the system.
- Violations could bring fines of up to €25,000, and software-based record manipulation could lead to prison terms of up to five years.
