Register your cash register with the tax office

This is how you register your cash register with TSE according to §146a AO directly from the Web desk to the tax office.

You must notify the tax office of every cash register equipped with a TSE ( Technical Security Equipment) within one month of purchase. Servire will transmit the notification electronically to the tax office via the TSE provider fiskaly. You can find it in the Web desk under Settings → TSE in the Cash Register Registration tab.

Prerequisite: A paid subscription (Pro or higher) and a configured TSE ( Technical Security Equipment). With the Solo plan, you register your cash register yourself via Mein ELSTER. The required information is explained in "Completing the Cash Register Report in ELSTER". Enter your actual business details; the images show sample data.
