If you are considering another register, compare more than its new interface. Existing equipment, data access and responsibilities during the switch also belong on the discussion list.
First list the equipment, software and contracts currently in use. Describe what works well and what you want to improve. A specific need helps comparisons; the government draft alone does not create a general obligation to buy new equipment.
Further readingBefore switching, clarify how to obtain existing records and exports. Ask the current provider and, where relevant, the new one to explain the process. Choosing a new solution does not replace checking applicable retention and access duties.
Further readingA switch may involve acquisition and decommissioning of systems subject to notification. The one-month deadline generally applies to these events; applicability and possible special rules still need checking. Keep equipment, dates and existing notifications distinct instead of noting only a general switchover date.
Further readingCheck contracts, updates and data access in cash-register offers. The proposed reform alone creates neither a blanket purchase duty nor a guarantee for the future.
What is planned for 2028Existing equipment
The draft alone does not establish that every existing cash register must be replaced.
Updates and services
A general advertising claim about the future does not replace a specific service description or assessment of the final law.
Data when switching
A new cash register does not automatically make older documents unnecessary.
Discuss a possible handover step by step. Write down which information you want to receive and which contact can explain it.
Prepare for setup or switchingWhich registers, apps and connected payment systems do you use at which locations?
Keep the provider, model, serial number, TSE documents, acquisition date and existing notifications together where you can find them.
Ask for a demonstration of receipt provision, cancellations and data export on your own register.
