Who is not required to have a cash register? Definitive 2025 guide

If you are looking for information on who can be exempt from the obligation to acquire a telemetric cash register, you are in the right place. In this article, we delve into the latest regulations and discover technological solutions - including software and integrations.

1. Who is NOT subject to the cash register obligation

According to current regulations, the following are not required to acquire a telemetric cash register :

1. Professionals and self-employed workers who operate exclusively with electronic invoicing, without issuing commercial documents.
2. Non-profit associations, foundations, and non-profit organizations that do not sell goods or services for a fee.
3. Farmers under the exempt regime, newsagents, tobacconists, sellers of stamped securities, public transport, and other specific categories.
4. Businesses with proceeds from indirect e-commerce, exempt from electronic storage and transmission.

2. What changes from January 1, 2026

The 2025 Budget Law introduces another level of compliance: POS always connected in real time to the telemetric cash register (or equivalent software)

• Until December 31, 2025, daily storage and transmission of proceeds is sufficient.
• From January 1, 2026, continuous and direct connection is mandatory, to track every electronic transaction.

3. Penalties for non-compliance

• €100-1,000 per day for failure to transmit data.
• €1,000 - 4,000 per day for failure to connect the POS to the cash register.
• Possible suspension of activity: from 3 days up to 6 months, depending on recidivism and severity.

4. Alternative solutions: software cash register

Based on Legislative Decree 1/2024, a certified software solution installed on a PC or tablet is valid, ensuring security and integration with electronic payments. This means that a physical cash register is not mandatory, but it is sufficient to use certified and compatible tools, connected in real time to the POS.
