- Norway’s cash register rules place primary compliance responsibility on POS system suppliers, who must ensure the system meets technical requirements, keeps an electronic journal, and is covered by a product declaration.
- Retailers must use compliant POS systems and properly record cash sales; “cash sale” is broader than cash payments and can include card/mobile payments when goods or services are delivered.
- Cash sales are distinguished from credit sales, internet sales, and some cash-on-delivery arrangements, so businesses must assess the actual transaction flow before recording it.
- Norwegian POS systems do not require real-time tax authority approval, but they must maintain a reliable audit trail, issue receipts, handle returns, produce reports, digitally sign transactions, and export data in SAF-T Cash Register format.
- The electronic journal can capture operational events beyond sales (for example, opening the cash drawer or price checks), and any added functions must not breach mandatory controls or include prohibited features.
