In previous months, we have written about self-service machines, vending devices, and similar topics in relation to fiscalization and its regulation. There is a lot of regulation that applies to these not-so-typical devices for selling goods or providing services. The latest regulation introduces the obligation to install cash registers in devices that provide special types of services.

More precisely, from February 1, 2023, entrepreneurs conducting service activities in the form of car washes, including self-service car washes, are obliged to have cash registers. However, each car wash stand is treated as a separate car wash, and a cash register should be available at each sales stand. That was a big concern because, according to regulations, each place is treated separately and a cash register is required. But this, of course, is problematic from the taxpayers’ point of view because it is not convenient for them and their businesses. That is how they ask the Ministry of Finance a couple of questions in relation to whether some regulations for them will be introduced, maybe some postponed, and whether there is work being carried out in the Ministry of Finance on changing the regulations enabling car washes to install a central cash register to which all positions would be connected. We will monitor whether there are any changes in this field.
