Overview
- The Agenzia delle Entrate said on Thursday that data up to May 15 show 115 million additional receipts and a €5.3 billion rise in the taxable base after the POS–cash register pairing came into force.
- The obligation was created in the 2025 budget, a web service to register devices opened on March 5, merchants had until April 20 to complete registration, and about 1.6 million telematic cash registers are now connected.
- The technical link associates POS identifiers with telematic cash registers so card payments are electronically recorded and transmitted to the tax authority for automatic matching with issued receipts.
- Officials reported an extra 10 million receipts in the first half of May versus May 2025 and said enforcement will use automated signals to target checks while keeping human officials responsible for any assessments.
- Sogei provides the IT backbone for the rollout, the measure builds on earlier moves to electronic corrispettivi and e‑invoicing, and authorities frame the change as tightening tax transparency to protect honest taxpayers.
