Yes – Since March 31, 2021, all cash registers used in Germany must be equipped with a certified technical security system (TSE). These systems must be certified and approved by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). All transactions performed during a shift are stored in the security system's internal memory. The transactions are then sent back to the TSE cash register with a unique code, which must be printed on every receipt. The data is subsequently stored in a tamper-proof log for the tax authorities and must be accessible to them at all times. The technical security system is designed to prevent fraud and tax evasion in the catering and hospitality industry.
