This overview helps you prepare. It is not a full assessment or individual legal or tax advice.

Worksheet to take with you

During the meeting, it is unclear who handles what. Separate technical demonstrations, tax assessment and business organization.

Illustrative example, not a case assessment

The examples show one way to organize the information. Print the sheet and add your details on paper. No information is collected or stored here.

What you take away

An allocation of tasks, contacts and expected feedback. It records agreements and does not transfer statutory responsibilities.

Still open / contact person

For your conversation

  1. Create an equipment list.

    Which registers, apps and connected payment systems do you use at which locations?

  2. For your register provider

    Can you show us our system's TSE status, receipt provision, cancellations and a complete data export?

  3. For your tax adviser

    Discuss how the rules apply to your business with your tax adviser. Your register provider is the right contact for technical questions about your system.

  4. Clarify jurisdiction

    Technical protection and notification to the tax office are separate tasks. Explicitly clarify who submits the notification and where the evidence is kept.
