Introduction
Fiscalization of PoS and cash register systems in Italy has been in place since 1983. In 2015 the Legislative decree No. 127/2015, applicable as of 2018, introduced new technical requirements that are now the basis for a tamper-proof operation of cash registers in Italy.
The electronic storage and telematic transmission of daily transactions can be done through the usage of:
- fiscal printers or telematic register devices (RT devices),
- the web procedure as an alternative to the RT devices, or
- software solutions, as approved in January 2024 but awaiting the approval of technical specifications (Expected / Coming soon 2025)
By using SIGN IT API, you will be complying with the legal regulations, as soon as the final version is released.
