Tax authority notifications
Products including tax authority notifications give you the possibility to perform these necessary notifications in an easy and legally compliant way. As these depend on local regulations, the products are highly country-specific.
- Austria
- France
- Germany
To perform the necessary notification to FinanzOnline and receipt audit, you must purchase a product that includes these services. The taxpayer is responsible for these notifications being performed and must check successful completion before the expiration of the deadline. Fiskaltrust assumes no liability if a notification has not been performed. However, as a PosDealer, you can only achieve the necessary processes if all prerequisites are met (e.g., correct FinanzOnline Access Tokens in the fiskaltrust.Portal). It is included in the fiskaltrust.Carefree Bundle.
For more details for you as a PosDealer, see FinanzOnline Management

Currently there are not fiscal authority notifications available in France.
From 1 January 2025, the notification obligation pursuant to Section 146a (4) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) will come into force. This regulation states that all electronic recording systems purchased or decommissioned from 1 July 2025 onwards must be reported within one month of acquisition or decommissioning. In addition, all cash registers that were put into operation before 1 July 2025 and are still active must be reported by 31 July 2025 at the latest.
Notification to the responsible tax office for the activation and deactivation of digital recording systems starting 2025.

Technical Background
Please note that the following information may be subject to change in the future.
All cash registers at an outlet must be included in the notification. For those using the fiskaltrust.Middleware, we already have most of the necessary information. Cash registers not using the fiskaltrust.Middleware can still be added to the fiskaltrust.Notification through various user-friendly methods. Fiskaltrust will generate the notification and use the ERiC interface to submit the notification to ELSTER.
If we lack some data needed for an outlet's notification, we have a straightforward automated process in place that will prompt the POS operator to provide the missing information.
Prerequisites for POSDealers/Operators
Since we use data from the fiskaltrust.Middleware and fiskaltrust.Portal to generate the notification, certain master data values must be present in the POSOperator's account. As previously mentioned, the POS operator will be prompted to provide any missing information before we create the notification. However, the more of the following values that are already filled out, the less the POSOperator will need to fill out later.
Source | Path | Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
POSOperator-Account | Company info / Master Data | St-IdNr | The taxId (Steuernummer) is mandatory for the notification. Using the USt-IdNr is not possible. |
POSOperator-Account | Company info / Master Data | Address | Streetname and Housenumber are mandatory. |
POSOperator-Account | Company info / Master Data | Postal code | The postal code is mandatory. |
POSOperator-Account | Company info / Master Data | City | The city is mandatory. |
POSOperator-Account | Company info / Outlets | Address | Streetname and Housenumber are mandatory. |
POSOperator-Account | Company info / Outlets | Postal code | The postal code is mandatory. |
POSOperator-Account | Company info / Outlets | City | The city is mandatory. |
Preriquities for POSCreators
The fiskaltrust.Notification product won't require a new implementation. However there are processes, receipts and data that have already been part of the fiskaltrust.Middleware that are now mandatory for the notification.
Receipts
- Initial-Operation-Receipt
- Out-Of-Operation-Receipt
- Initiate-Switch-Receipt
- Finish-Switch-Receipt
PosSystemId
The PosSytemId has been mandatory since the beginning. We use the PosSystemId to map the masterdata of your POSSystem to the individual Middleware-Instances. POSSystem masterdata is a mandatory part of the notification.
