Are you ready for the new cash register law in 2024? Here’s what you need to know
At Shopbox, we understand that new legal requirements can feel overwhelming - especially when it involves something as critical as your cash register system. In 2024, the new cash register law will come into effect, introducing updated requirements for digital sales registration for businesses in certain industries. Here’s a brief overview of what the new law entails and how Shopbox can help you navigate the transition smoothly.
What is the new cash register law about?
In January 2024, the Danish Tax Agency introduced new requirements for digital sales registration in industries such as restaurants, cafés, bars, and kiosks. The goal is to ensure that all transactions are recorded digitally and accurately, making tax reporting easier for both businesses and the tax authorities, while promoting fair competition within the industry.
The new requirements mean that businesses must use an approved cash register system capable of delivering data in the SAF-T format (Standard Audit File for Tax). This is a standardized data format, that allows for the Danish Tax Agency to gain a clear overview of your transactions.
What is SAF-T, and how does it affect you?
The SAF-T format ensures that sales data is structured uniformly, allowing the Danish Tax Agency to quickly gain insight into your reports. While it’s a technical format, you don’t need to worry about the details - that’s our job! At Shopbox, we ensure that your cash register system is updated to meet all the new requirements.
Use of OCES3 certificates
As of October 2023, it is mandatory for cash register systems to use the new OCES3 certificates, as the old OCES2 certificates have been phased out. OCES3 certificates are a crucial part of your system's security, ensuring that data transfers are protected. Shopbox handles this transition for you, so you can rest assured that your system is updated and compliant with the new regulations.
