Thanks for reaching out!

The **KassenSichV officially came into force** on 1.1.2020. So far, the picture of the intensity with which cash register manufacturers have dealt with the topic is varied. However, this will change abruptly on 1.10.2020. From this date, every cash register must be equipped with a TSS (basic information on this can be found [here](/en/articles/necessary-documents-for-cash-audit)).As a cash register manufacturer, the question arises: Which TSS solution do I use? Compliance with the law is often the decisive criterion. 

The problem:

**No TSS is currently fully certified - only provisionally approved!**

#### So what can cash register manufacturers do? 

TSS customers basically have the option of integrating cloud TSSs or hardware TSSs. There are huge differences in terms of certification, performance spectrum, practicability and costs. We would like to go into this in more detail below.

#### The current situation

Some hardware TSS providers have a temporary approval for their systems and therefore have to re-certify by the end of 2020 at the latest. However, there are major risks in doing so - for example, by upgrading to a new protection profile. TSSs with a temporary release are de facto only partially tested and thus there is a risk that no final certification will take place. This would create several problems:

* The TSS manufacturer must undergo re-certification at the end of 2020. If the re-certification is not completed positively, a new TSS solution must be found.  In the worst case, customers would have to look for a new provider.
* If the re-certification should reveal gross deficiencies in the TSS, there could be a complete ban on operations despite the current provisional approval. This would mean that all TSSs already in operation would have to be replaced.

#### What are the consequences?

Possibly, there would have to be a complete replacement of all HW TSSs. Hardware solutions are very costly to purchase and present enormous logistical challenges. So if changes were ever made, all hardware TSSs would potentially have to be completely replaced. This would lead to repeated costs and roll-out challenges. Furthermore, hardware TSSs cannot keep up with the performance spectrum of cloud solutions around the necessary processes.

The certification of a cloud TSS is only a matter of time. There are POS systems where it is technically impossible to install a hardware component (e.g. based on RDP - Remote Desktop Protocol). TSSs as a **Cloud solution are also officially confirmed** by the BSI (see [FAQ BSI](https://www.bsi.bund.de/DE/Themen/Unternehmen-und-Organisationen/Standards-und-Zertifizierung/Schutz-vor-Manipulation-an-digitalen-Grundaufzeichnungen/Veroeffentlichungen/veroeffentlichungen_node.html)). The leading provider of cloud TSSs is fiskaly, due to its technological edge, as well as its unique range of services. "The beauty of a cloud solution is simplicity coupled with infinite possibilities," documents Dr. Patrick Gaubatz, TSS expert at fiskaly.

**Our recommendation is quite clear: a cloud TSS with which all (legal) requirements can be responded to quickly and cheaply.** As well as, for example, to a repeated postponement of the non-objection rule. If there are ever legal changes or other updates, you can integrate them once centrally with a cloud solution and the issue is taken care of. With a hardware solution, you literally have to take each POS in hand individually. 

The **Cloud solution from fiskaly** goes far beyond the actual signature unit! While hardware is purely the signature unit, the cloud solution from fiskaly offers innovative added value for customers (eBeleg, fiskaly DSFinV-K, dashboard for managing all TSSs, activation at the tax office, SSO, multi-client capability, ...) and is also more cost-effective - contact fiskaly at **sales@fiskaly.com.**

TSS customers basically have the option of integrating cloud TSSs or hardware TSSs. There are huge differences in terms of certification, performance spectrum, practicability and costs.

Everything about certification and TSS

## New version of the DSFinV‑K

Version 2.3 of the digital interface to the revenue administration for point-of-sale systems (DSFinV‑K) has been published by the Federal Central Tax Office. The DSFinV‑K interface is a legal requirement that must be implemented. The fiskaly DSFinV‑K is easy to implement.

## fiskaly solution

With the Cloud TSS fiskaly SIGN DE and fiskaly DSFinV‑K, you have an all-round worry-free package for the KassenSichV from one provider. At fiskaly, we automatically implement the legally binding changes and inform you about relevant updates..

## The most important updates

\- Change to serial number

\- New, supplemented overview of the sales tax keys

\- Additional clarifications as well as explanations of certain scenarios

\- [English translation](https://dsfinvk.fiskaly.com/api/v1/_docs/dsfinvk/dsfinv_k_v_2_3_eng_version.pdf) available — this is not legally binding

\- DSFinV‑K 2.3 must be applied by July 1, 2022 at the latest

## What is the DSFinV‑K?

DSFinV‑K is the description of an interface for data export from electronic record systems for data transfer. This is required for audits and Kassen-Nachschau inspections. 

## What do the changes to DSFinV‑K 2.3 entail?

Here we have compiled brief explanations of the most important changes for you.

##### Serial number

Previously, the POS serial number was stored in the technical security system (TSS). With DSFinV‑K 2.3, this must now also be stored in the DSFinV‑K. Note: For technical reasons, neither slashes (“/”) nor underscores (“_”) may be used in the POS serial number. 

##### **Clarifications**

DSFinV‑K 2.3 contains many clarifications on scenarios concerning the correct integration of the interface.

##### **English translation**

The [DSFinV‑K 2.3 is also available as an English translation](https://developer.fiskaly.com/dsfinvk/introduction#legal-requirements). The translation is not legally binding.

##### **Application regulation**

DSFinV‑K 2.3 applies to records made on or after July 1, 2022. Version 2.3 can also be applied before that.

## fiskaly DSFinV‑K

fiskaly offers a simple add-on solution to the Cloud TSS fiskaly SIGN DE to create statutory DSFinV‑K exports. You can easily integrate the function into your POS system via API. With fiskaly, you have the best partner for the implementation of the DSFinV‑K. We take care of the correct implementation of the legal requirements for you.

## [Test fiskaly DSFinV‑K now](https://developer.fiskaly.com/api/dsfinvk/v1)

The DSFinV‑K version 2.3 contains current updates and clarifications. fiskaly team has summarized the most important information for you.

The DSFinV‑K version 2.3 contains updates and clarifications. fiskaly team has summarized the most important information for you.

New requirements of DSFinV‑K 2.3

On 25 June 2021, the Bundesrat approved the ordinance amending the Cash Security Regulation. ([2](https://www.bundesrat.de/SharedDocs/drucksachen/2021/0401-0500/438-21.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1))([4](https://www.bundesrat.de/SharedDocs/drucksachen/2021/0401-0500/438-21(B).pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1)) The addition to § 6 sentence 2 KassenSichV makes it possible that certain information does not have to be printed on a receipt in a form that can be read by a human being, but can be displayed in a QR code. This means that the size of the receipt can be reduced.
**Section 6 paragraph 2 of the KassenSichV is worded as follows.**
"The information according to paragraph 1 must be

1. be legible to anyone without machine assistance, or  2. be readable from a QR code.

The QR code according to paragraph 2 number 2 must correspond to the digital interface of the tax authorities (DSFinV), which is prescribed for the respective associated type of recording system. The digital interface shall be published on the website of the Federal Central Tax Office, as amended from time to time."

Source: [Bundesrat Drucksache 438/21 p. 8.](/img/bundesrat-drucksache-438-21.pdf)

Subject to paragraph 2, this Ordinance shall enter into force the day after promulgation.

**(Update 2024)** To ensure [compliance with KassenSichV starting from January 1, 2024](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_ao/englisch_ao.html#p1392), the receipt must include not only the TSS data but also the **serial numbers of both the electronic record-keeping system (ERS) and the TSS**. We recommend to store this data in the QR code.

## Sustainable development

The addition in § 6 sentence 2 KassenSichV makes it possible to print the signature data in a QR code. Previously, all data had to be printed in a human-readable form. This means that this data no longer has to be displayed twice on the receipt if a QR code has already been printed on the receipt. This means that cash register receipts will be shorter. It is estimated that this change will save 108 000 km of paper annually.

The structure and technical specifications for the QR code must comply with the digital interface of the tax authorities (DSFinV). For cash register systems, a digital interface of the financial administration for cash register systems (DSFinV-K) is defined.

## Save paper - use QR codes

The TSS data (=secured TSS data according to KassenSichV) should be stored in the QR code. This eliminates the need to print the TSS plain text on the receipt. This is the current recommendation of the tax authorities. In the event of a cash register inspection, the QR code simplifies the process. Shorter receipts save paper and therefore money. In addition, thermal paper pollutants are avoided and the environment is protected.
![Short and long receipt](/img/new-receipt-comparison-en-no-bg.webp "Short and long receipt")
The first receipt on the left shows the abbreviated version with the secured TSS data stored in the QR code. The second receipt on the right shows a receipt with printed plain text of the secured TSS data according to KassenSichV. Here, the difference in length and thus the saving of resources can be clearly seen.

Alternatively, you can switch to the digital [fiskaly receipt](https://receipt.fiskaly.com/) and thus dispense with thermal paper altogether. You will find more information about the fiskaly receipt below.

**QR code advantages overview:**

* Cash register inspection is significantly simplified
* Faster verification of receipts
* Paper savings → Costs are reduced
* Thermal paper pollutants are reduced → Environment is protected
* Aesthetically more beautiful receipts

## fiskaly receipt:

The "extra step" with fiskaly is the completely electronic receipt issuing. With the fiskaly receipt ([interface](https://developer.fiskaly.com/api/ereceipt/v1)) it is now possible to hand over the receipt 100% electronically and therefore climate neutral. For example, the handover can be done easily by a QR code. At the end of a transaction, the seller receives a QR code on his device. The customer can scan this QR code and receive his electronic fiskaly receipt directly on his device. Alternatives are sending the receipt by e-mail or SMS.

**fiskaly receipt advantages overview:**

* Digital receipt → no paper, no additional costs
* Seamless and fast integration through API interface
* Modern way of receipt issuing (QR code, email, SMS)
* No contact with thermal paper pollutants
* Aesthetically customizable design

**Note:**

It is estimated that this change will save 108,000 km of paper annually in Germany.

The example below illustrates how many resources can be saved annually by this change.

## Example calculation of resource saving

The example is from the Regulation on the Amendment of the Cash Security Regulation and illustrates how many resources can be saved annually through this amendment:

"Here it is assumed that the data so far takes up an average length of 3 cm on the cash register receipt and that approx. 40 percent of the receipts are either issued electronically or do not contain a QR code. With an estimated 6 billion receipts per year, this leads to a paper saving of 108,000 km of paper. With an average length of 50 m per receipt roll and an average cost of 1 euro per receipt roll, the annual savings amount to 2.1 million euros."

Drucksache 19/29085 (28.4.2021), p. 15.

fiskaly supports this sustainable development of printing a QR code instead of printing the readable signature. In this way, [paper consumption can be reduced by the document output requirement](/en/articles/receipt-issuance-obligation-in-germany-background-effects-and-alternatives) and thus resources can also be conserved.

## fiskaly eReceipt

The "extra step" with fiskaly is the completely electronic receipt issue. With the fiskaly eReceipt, it will be possible in the future to hand over the receipt 100% electronically and thus in a climate-neutral way.

More details will follow in summer 2022.

The decision of the Federal Council allows a QR code to be printed as an alternative to the data issued in readable form. This can shorten a receipt and thus save costs as well as resources.

This partnership enables trading partners of Markant to have a **scalable and modern fiscalisation solution** of the cash register security regulation. The international orientation of both companies is a very good fit.
Last week, the foundation stone for the partnership was laid: as part of the partnership between Markant and fiskaly for the **optimal implementation of the cash register security regulation**, the first well-known customer, **Bartels Langness**, concluded the corresponding contracts.
***The implementation at Markant was carried out professionally and confidently. This saved BELA considerable effort***,
says Günter Heppes, IT Bartels-Langness, about the partnership.
In the course of the cash register security ordinance, every cash register must be made tamper-proof via a TSS. A cloud solution proves to be the ideal solution (in retail). Cost-effective, easy to integrate and powerful in roll-out and beyond.

Markant Group, the largest service provider for suppliers & retailers in Germany & Europe, finalises a long-term partnership with fiskaly.

**Efficient and cost-effective implementation of the Cash Register Security Ordinance.**
From October 2020, cash register systems must be adapted in accordance with the Cash Register Security Ordinance. But the accompanying regulations and challenges bring hurdles for many companies. Companies are now benefiting from a new solution: through the partnership of fiskaly GmbH with **[EFSTA](https://www.efsta.eu/at/)**, an all-in-one package has been created that fulfills and covers the regulations of the Cash Register Security Ordinance.
Although the Cash Register Security Ordinance officially came into force on 1 January 2020, companies will not have to equip their cash registers with a technical security system (TSS) until 1 October 2020, so that the manipulation protection of the recorded data is guaranteed and the data can no longer be changed afterwards.
The challenges that companies now face can be mastered through the cooperation of fiskaly GmbH and EFSTA. The combination of EFSTA's international fiscal solutions and extensive services with fiskaly's Cloud TSS offers a comprehensive and efficient solution to the cash register security regulation and also enables the regulations to be covered in compliance with the law.
Through EFSTA's solution, on the one hand, different national fiscal regulations can be unified in a standardised interface and, on the other hand, cash register systems can be easily rolled out to other countries. The extensive functions and services of EFSTA are complemented by the advantages of the fiskaly Cloud TSS.
The fiskaly Cloud TSS is a future-oriented and innovative solution that brings many advantages compared to a hardware TSS. As the technical security device of fiskaly is cloud-based, the cash register security regulation can be implemented in a contemporary manner. Subsequently, there is an enormous cost saving, as no hardware is required and therefore no expensive investments have to be made. If there are legal changes, the TSS is adapted to the changes so that it always fulfils the legal requirements. Once centrally integrated, all tills can be upgraded to comply with the law via a simple software update.

Companies benefit from a new solution: the partnership between fiskaly GmbH and EFSTA has resulted in an all-in-one package.

The deadline for the non-objection rule, which is granted by the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) until 30 September 2020, has now been extended by 15 federal states until 31 March 2021.

In the federal states of Brandenburg, Lower Saxony and Saxony, the commissioning deadline is **31 August 2020**. In the federal state of Berlin, a binding order must have been placed by **30 August 2020**.
fiskaly offers a cloud-based TSS solution that is already in the certification process and can be installed **by the deadline of 31 March 202**1.

Contact our sales team and sign the **contract for your Cloud TSS**.
