From 11 June, any number of customers will be able to stay in shops, subject to the distance and hygiene rules and the mask requirement. The previous restriction “up to a sales area of 800 square metres only customers from the same household per ten square metres and for the sales area exceeding this only customers from the same household per 20 square metres may be present at the same time” no longer applies. The recording of personal data of all customers in a contact record according to § 1 paragraph 3 for the purpose of contact tracing unfortunately remains in place.

According to the so-called Cash Register Act, companies have been obliged to equip their electronic cash registers with a certified technical security device (TSE) since January 2020. Since there were delays in the development of the corresponding technical security standards and corresponding security modules were not available on the market in time, the Federal Ministry of Finance had issued a non-objection regulation until 30 September 2020. Subsequently, all federal states except for Bremen decided on a further non-objection regulation until 31 March 2021. Despite the extended deadline, it is to be feared that no certified cloud TSE solutions will be available until it expires.
Companies that want to secure their cash registers (systems) with a cloud TSE should immediately contact their cloud TSE manufacturer and clarify the concrete details or a time frame for the implementation. In order to avoid that the cash registers without TSE protection may no longer be used after 31 March 2021, companies should apply to the tax office for an extension of the deadline pursuant to § 148 AO.
For this purpose, the DIHK, together with other associations, has prepared a “Practical Guide for Businesses” with further explanations and sample formulations, which we are pleased to make available to you (see attachment).
