If you would like to report the cash register to the tax office yourself, you can find instructions for completing the notification on electronic recording systems (eAS) at the Federal Ministry of Finance. The TSS must be activated for the cash register notification. 

Not sure if the notification has already been made? Log in to MYorderbird.de and click on the menu item “TSS”. If you have registered via our registration assistant, it will be stored here. Otherwise, contact your tax advisor; they can provide information if the notification was made elsewhere. 

This is what your view looks like once the notification has been successfully completed:

Available deadlines for the notification obligation

The law requires you to register your cash register ("notification obligation"). Since 2025, the following regulations and deadlines apply:

• Start of the notification procedure: The notification procedure will be available from January 1, 2025.
• Deadline for new POS systems: All POS systems purchased from July 1, 2025, must be reported within one month.
• Deadline for existing POS systems: Systems purchased before July 1, 2025, must be reported by July 31, 2025, at the latest.
• Exception for decommissioned systems: If you purchased your MINI POS system before July 1, 2025, and have already taken it out of operation by that date, please contact your tax advisor on how best to proceed.
• No exceptions to the notification obligation: There are no exceptions, except for taximeters. Rented and leased POS systems are treated the same as purchased systems.
• Notification only possible digitally: The reporting of POS systems can only be done digitally. "Mein ELSTER" or the ERiC interface are available for this purpose. Alternatively, the report can be made by uploading an XML file to www.elster.de or soon simply and conveniently through orderbird. We will, of course, keep you updated on this.
