5) second-tier banks;

6) religious associations;

7) The national postal operators, except for monetary payments made in places without public telecommunications network;

Thus, the law establishes an exhaustive list of specific entities and circumstances under which the use of a cash register machines is not required.

Non-profit organizations, such as Property Owners' Associations (POAs), are not included in this exempt list. Therefore, tax legislation does not provide an exemption from the use of cash registers for POAs.

In accordance with subparagraph 1 of Article 19 of the Tax Code, monetary settlements are defined as payments made for the purchase of goods, the performance of work, or the provision of services via cash, and (or) payment cards, and (or) mobile payments.

Consequently, when accepting monetary payments for the performance of work, the provision of services, whether through cash, and (or) payment cards, and (or) mobile payments, non-profit organizations, including POAs, are required to use a CRM and issue a corresponding fiscal receipt.
