Assess your starting point and see which questions you can clarify today. The government draft for 2028 is explained separately from current law.

Looking towards 2028 starts with today's situation. You can gather information without already drawing a purchasing decision or a personal start deadline from it.
First establish how you record sales. An electronic register system covered by the legislation already has requirements concerning TSE, receipts, records and notification. These topics do not only become important because of the government draft.
Further readingIn the draft, the turnover definition, relevant year and possible exceptions belong together. A typical day's sales do not answer these questions. Gather available annual documents and distinguish confirmed figures from those you can only estimate so far.
Further readingDescribe what your register already does and what is missing in everyday use. Ask for demonstrations on your system before comparing alternatives. A prepared question list is more useful than assuming that a reform necessarily requires new equipment.
Further readingA practical preparation plan for the proposed cash-register obligation: take stock, check assumptions and decide only on a reliable basis.
What is planned for 2028Take stock
The inventory remains useful even if the draft changes.
Check assumptions
A forecast is neither an established threshold exceedance nor a binding start deadline.
Decide on implementation
Binding changes need a clarified basis; an offer does not prove a legal obligation.
Divide your notes into “available” and “still to clarify”. This makes it easier to discuss the draft without anticipating a binding outcome.
Your preparationHave your business structure, locations and available annual records ready. Separate final figures from estimates.
Note down questions about business establishments and relevant annual turnover for your tax adviser.
Before basing a decision on a proposed deadline, check the latest official publications.
