The State Revenue Committee informs entrepreneurs about new requirements for the use of cash registers (CCMs) and available free tools for business operations

        To support small businesses, the issue of free provision of POS terminals by second-tier banks has been resolved. These POS terminals are already integrated with cash registers (CCMs). They may be stationary POS terminals or mobile POS applications installed on a smartphone.

 

What is already available to entrepreneurs?

•POS terminals of Kaspi Bank and Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan already operate as full-fledged cash registers (CCMs) and have built-in barcode scanners.

•In the near future, similar functions will be available for POS terminals of Freedom Bank Kazakhstan and Bank CenterCredit.

 

       Thus, the SRC, together with Fiscal Data Operators (FDOs), banks, and manufacturers of cash register equipment, is creating convenient and automated trade solutions.

 

From January 1, 2026, updated requirements of the Tax Code and Order of the Minister of Finance No. 626 will come into force.

 

Obligations of Fiscal Data Operators (FDOs):

1.Provide FDO services throughout the country.

2.Promptly transmit settlement data to the SRC.

3.Place services for using the National Product Catalog (NPC) on their portals.

4.Transmit CCM geolocation data to the SRC.

5.Monitor incoming CCM data on a daily basis.

 

Obligations of cash register (CCM) manufacturers:

1.Update the receipt format: product/service names must now be indicated in accordance with the NPC.

2.Eliminate the “receipt cancellation” function — corrections will be made only by issuing a return receipt.

  

       These changes are aimed at protecting consumer rights, increasing business transparency, developing fair competition, and reducing the shadow economy.

 

Entrepreneurs are required to:

 

1. Update their CCMs

•All software cash registers have already been automatically updated to protocol version 2.0.3.

•Owners of stationary CCMs (Mercury, Minika, Port) must contact technical service centers for updates.

 

2. How to reflect product names on receipts?

To do this, it is necessary to use a barcode scanner:

•the built-in scanner of a POS terminal;

•the phone camera if a mobile CCM is used;

•or a separate scanner for a stationary cash register.
