Cash register systems

Only cash register systems that meet the requirements laid down in the Norwegian Cash Register Systems Act and the Cash Register Systems Regulations are permitted to be sold.

The purpose of the regulations

The regulations make it more difficult to manipulate a cash register system and withhold cash sales from taxation and VAT. The aim is to combat the black economy and ensure fairer taxation in the cash sales sectors.

If the entity subject to the bookkeeping obligation does not use a product-declared cash register system, a penalty fine may be imposed. Read more about the obligation to use a cash register system.

Who does this apply to?

As a system supplier, you must confirm that the cash register system complies with the Cash Register System Act and the Cash Register System Regulations. If you, as the supplier of the cash register system, do not deliver a product declaration, or the cash register system does not meet the requirements, the Norwegian Tax Administration may impose a violation fine on you. See Cash Register System Act § 8.
