The quickest plan predicts the introduction of cash registers in October. According to the action plan, cash registers will become obligatory on January 1 of the next year, but the possibility exists they could be introduced already in October in case of a common public procurement for the information equipment. Tax registers should bring additional inflow to the budget, estimated by the government to an amount between 50 and 100 million euro.

The Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia wants a direct connection with cash registers
The government must at first decide which of the two available systems to employ: data can be either kept by the taxable person, and the Financial Administration has access to data only at inspection in the field, or cash registers can be directly connected to the computer system of the Financial Administration.

The Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia is in favour of the second option, as it should be more efficient for supervision of the cash operation of the taxable persons. The introduction of such a system would cost the Financial Administration approximately two million euro, but on the other hand savings are expected due to a smaller number of inspections in the field.

Taxable persons already using cash registers won't have any additional costs, while for the others the Financial Administration estimates the cost will not exceed 300 euros. The Chamber of Crafts of Slovenia has already reacted, demanding from the government to estimate the real costs, and to bear them by giving an option for hiring cash registers.
