Good to Know
As soon as an invoice only contains expense items (e.g., when a customer buys a value voucher but doesn’t redeem it and pays in cash), no QR code will appear on the invoice since no taxes are due on expense items.
Congratulations!
You’ve successfully completed all the steps! You’re now the proud owner of an upgraded, RKSV-compliant cash register.
What's Next?
Please remember to print a “Monatsbeleg” (monthly receipt) at the end of each month and a “Jahresbeleg” (annual receipt) in December, for the "Finanzamt" (tax office). It’s best to set a reminder in your calendar now or ask your tax advisor to take care of this.
Internet Connection is Mandatory
To remain RKSV-compliant, your cash register must always be online during operation, or at least connect to the internet every 48 hours. Specifically, you must reconnect your cash register to the internet no later than 7 days after a 48-hour outage so that invoice data can sync.
