On the use of cash registers that do not comply with new requirements from July 1, 2025.

The Ministry of Taxes and Duties draws attention to the fact that in accordance with the requirements of the fourth paragraph of clause 17 and the fifth paragraph of clause 25 of the Regulation on the Use of Cash Registers and Other Equipment when Accepting Payment Instruments, approved by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus and the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus of 06.07.2011 No. 924/16 (as amended, effective from 01.07.2025, hereinafter referred to as Regulation No. 924/16), from July 1, 2025, the use of cash register equipment that does not comply with the requirements established by the Resolution of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties of the Republic of Belarus, the State Committee for Standardization of the Republic of Belarus of 14.10.2022 No. 29/99 "On the Requirements for Cash Registers, including those combined with taximeters, and ticket-printing machines" or by the Resolution of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties of the Republic of Belarus of 29.03.2018 No. 10 "On the Requirements for a Software Cash System, a Software Cash Register, an Operator of a Software Cash System, and on the Work of the Commission for Assessment of Compliance with the Requirements" (as amended, effective from 01.07.2025) is not allowed.

Business entities that continue to use cash register equipment that does not comply with the new requirements after July 1, 2025, are subject to administrative liability provided for by Part 1 of Article 13.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Belarus, which provides for a fine of up to fifty basic units, for an individual entrepreneur - up to one hundred basic units (4,200 rubles), and for a legal entity - up to two hundred basic units (8,400 rubles).

In view of the foregoing, we draw attention to the fact that the amount of the possible fine is not comparable to the cost of updating or purchasing new cash register equipment, and therefore we propose that business entities that have not carried out measures to update (replace) cash register equipment immediately take measures to comply with the requirements of Regulation No. 924/16 and purchase (replace) their cash register equipment as soon as possible.

For reference. As of May 26, 2025, 76 models (modifications) of cash register equipment compliant with the new requirements have been approved for use in the Republic of Belarus, including:

46 models of cash summing devices, 30 of which support the sale of marked goods;

30 models of software cash registers, 29 of which support the sale of marked goods.

Up-to-date information on the modification and cost of cash register equipment is available on the official website of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties at the link https://nalog.gov.by/tax_control/payment_control/documents/.

We further inform you that since July 1, 2025, the use of cash register equipment that does not comply with the new requirements will be outside the legal framework. The Ministry of Taxes and Duties may consider the issue of remote blocking of such cash register equipment and its disconnection from the cash register control system after the specified date.

Given that as of May 26, 2025, 94.6 thousand business entities have already installed and are using cash register equipment, the deadlines for transitioning to cash register equipment compliant with the new requirements will not be extended!
