Frequently Asked Question

Tax jurisdictions don’t have specific legislation regarding POS components/peripherals. 

In each country, the POS is required to perform the same basic tasks:

• receive input from the cashier.
• submit invoice requests to an SDC service (which fiscalizes the invoice data), via the standardized communication protocol.
• receive invoice response (fiscalized invoice data) from the SDC, via the standardized communication protocol.
• issue invoice to the customer (printing, digital or electronic) – this is the only part that is additionally regulated, as jurisdictions prescribe when printing invoices is mandatory or optional.

The use of peripherals/components depends on each vendor’s implementation. They have to make sure their product can complete all the above tasks. In their application for accreditation, they have to note the peripherals/components that the product uses.
