Businessmen are forced to spend money, forbidding to refit the already purchased cash registers

The National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of Kazakhstan "Atameken" held a workshop on the introduction of cash registers with the function of capturing and transferring data.

The meeting was attended by employees of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan, JSC "Kazakhtelecom", representatives of cash register distribution companies and cash machine maintenance centers.

The range of topics discussed at the meeting was quite extensive: sealing of cash registers, selection of the type and the procedure of connection, billing, payment, receipt of invoices and other technical and procedural issues. Among other issues on the agenda was discussed the possibility of upgrading the already used cash machines, and their adaptation to the requirements of the legislation.

Participants of the meeting discussed the issue of the registry of CM - the list of cash machines, approved for use on the territory of Kazakhstan. In July, no new cash register designed for small businesses appeared in it.

Meanwhile, businessmen expected that in June and July will be tested all installed CM. And according to the results, the business will be able to choose CM with online data transfer option, not only recommended by the Ministry of Finance and "Kazakhtelecom", but also suggested by  alternative manufacturers.

It is noteworthy that there are CM with the reasonable prices at the markets. In particular, the cash registers of Russian production. However, all of them, by some complicated technical reasons, can’t overcome the testing.

The second, equally acute and unresolved issue is related to technical requirements. Until now, no amendments were introduced to the legal framework, regarding the cash registers, which are already in use. In particular, we are talking about the possibility of re-equipping cash registers with one data channel.

Despite the fact that the experts of the National Chamber "Atameken" gave a positive opinion on the corresponding change, some members of the working group are against it. Manufacturers of cash registers, service centers and specialists of "Kazakhtelecom" expressed concern about the correctness of the "old" re-equipped cash-registers. According to them, the potential problems will be small scale with the new cash registers, produced at the factory, with appropriate manufacturers’ safeguards.

However, business with great doubts looks at the prospects of the new cost. And what if tomorrow the Ministry of Finance would suddenly decide that the new cash register is already "obsolete"? Should we spend more money?
