POS and telematic registers: mandatory from 2026

What you need to know

Everything we know so far – and where to get the updates.

From January 2026, it will be mandatory in Italy: POS devices must be directly connected to the fiscal printer.

The regulation applies to all businesses that accept electronic payments – regardless of size or sector.

Don’t worry: we’ll keep you updated here on the blog.

Why all this?

With this measure, the legislator pursues several goals:

  • less tax evasion
  • more transparency in transactions
  • a further step towards the digitalization of the payment process

Concretely, this means: every card payment is automatically recorded in the fiscal printer and, together with the digital receipt, sent directly to the tax authority – without detours, without gaps.

The catch: still no details

Does it sound like a big change? Yes – but so far, there are no concrete details on how the technical implementation will work.

  • Will devices need to be replaced?
  • Will a software update be enough?
  • Which models will be compatible?

The only thing that’s clear: manual entries at the terminal are a thing of the past – in the future, everything will run automatically through the POS system.

With ASA Pay we are creating a system that will meet all requirements – as soon as they are defined in detail. This way you’ll be on the safe side and won’t have to worry.

In addition: in case of violations, not only fines are expected, but in serious cases also a temporary closure of the business.

What to do until then?

For now: keep the topic on your radar.
There’s no need to change anything yet, but it’s wise to stay informed.

And that’s exactly what we do for you: we gather all the updates and keep you posted.
