What’s new
The connection between POS devices and fiscal cash registers has been mandatory since April 1, 2026.
New: Deposits and multi-purpose vouchers are also gaining importance – especially with regard to the correct issuance of receipts.
What is this about exactly?
All POS devices (including Virtual POS) must be linked in the Cassetto Fiscale to their respective RT cash registers.
Why is this necessary?
The Italian Revenue Agency will cross-check:
- the payment methods shown on the commercial receipt
- with the actual POS transactions processed
In short:
What appears on the receipt must exactly match the real payments.
By now, you should carefully review your processes.
Make sure that:
- the correct payment method is always used
- mixed payments are split accurately (e.g. 50% cash / 50% card)
- all payment methods are properly mapped to the RT cash register
Our tip:
Regularly check:
- the daily closing
- individual fiscal receipts
This will help you identify errors early on.
Attention to deposits & vouchers
Many businesses have not issued a fiscal receipt for deposits (caparre) and multi-purpose vouchers so far. However, in light of the new regulation, we recommend issuing a receipt for these as well via the RT cash register.
In practice, this can be done, for example, by using a VAT code such as “NS – not subject”.
Important:
The specific tax treatment should always be clarified with your tax advisor.
Implementation & Conclusion
The good news: the technical requirements are already in place.
With version 26.01, ASA HOTEL provides the feature “cash receipts for deposits and multi-purpose vouchers” (System configuration → Property → Accounting).
Once activated, deposits and vouchers are transferred to the RT cash register and shown on the receipt as “sconto a pagare” (discount to be paid) – usually without further adjustments. However, the mapping should always be carefully verified.
Important:
- master services must be restarted after activation
- existing payment mappings should not be overwritten unnecessarily
- tax-related details must always be clarified with your tax advisor
Responsibility lies entirely with the business – from correct configuration and ongoing monitoring to full compliance with tax regulations.
Conclusion:
The obligation is already a reality. Businesses that properly set up their processes now will avoid issues during audits, reconciliations with the tax authorities, and potential penalties.
Our tip:
Check now, configure correctly, and stay on the safe side.
