A new legal obligation has been in force in Germany since January 1, 2025: all electronic cash register systems (eAs) must be reported to the tax office in accordance with Section 146a (4) AO - per permanent establishment and electronically via MeinELSTER. For many companies, this means new processes, new obligations and new uncertainties.
The declaration must be carried out by the taxable entrepreneur. It is possible to outsource the declaration to trusted third party data processors, e.g. tax consultants, efsta, TSE manufacturers or similar. However, the taxable person's duty to cooperate is required.
efsta provides two convenient ways to reliably fulfill the statutory reporting obligation. Both use our powerful Fiscal Middleware (EFR).
A prerequisite for implementation is the use of our online EFR and the integrated archiving feature. This is the only way to ensure that all relevant data is reported and archived completely and in compliance with the law.
Here you can find out what options are available to you and how you can stay on the safe side with efsta.
