In Germany
What to know in Germany
Read 4 November 2026 from the official pages linked. A rule can change; your accountant has the last word. Nivasik does not file tax or connect to a tax authority's system: where one is required, keep it and run Nivasik beside it.
- Germany charges VAT, called MwSt or USt. Prices to private customers are quoted with VAT included, while many business software prices are shown without it. Source
- Since 1 January 2020 a seller must give a receipt for each sale, on paper or electronically. An electronic till with a cash function must be protected by a certified security module (TSE) under the KassenSichV. A system that only tracks stock and has no cash function needs no TSE. Source
- A draft law dated 5 August 2026 is proposed but not confirmed. It would require a till from €100,000 total turnover and, from 1 January 2028, replace the paper-receipt duty with a duty to provide a receipt. Source
- How customers pay: EC-Karte (girocard), Kreditkarte, Apple Pay / Google Pay, PayPal / QR payments, Bargeld still very common. Take it the way you already do and record it on the bill.
