Have you started looking for a new cash register and don't know which model is right for you? The diversity of electronic tax machines on the market can put you in difficulty, so it is important to carefully study the field and establish some selection criteria from the beginning.
To make sure you buy the right model for your business, read the following tips.
- Make sure that the chosen model is accredited by ANAF
Economic operators are advised to buy a cash register only after making sure that it has received accreditation from ANAF. You can purchase Datecs equipment from accredited units in your city.

- The cash register must fit the characteristics of your business
Among the most important criteria that should be the basis for choosing a cash register is the type of business. For example, a fixed cash register is suitable for a shop, a beauty salon or a pharmacy. While for a courier or passenger transport company, a portable cash register is more useful. The portable model does not take up much space and is easy to handle, significantly facilitating the work of employees. The new model WP50 cash register with battery is a variety that you can consider in this situation. The main features of the DATECS brand device are: maximum number of items – up to 100,000, specially reconfigured friendly menu, multiple interfaces, built-in communication modem with installed data SIM and PIN PAD ready for connecting bank card acceptance device.
- The size of the business dictates the right cash register
Choose the cash register according to the size of your business or the plans you have in the near future. In stores where a large number of transactions are recorded, a tax machine with a higher recording capacity will be necessary. At the same time, you will need a model equipped with a scanner or that can be connected to the scale. Any additional feature that can help your business thrive is worth the investment.
- Related services offered by the distributor can make the difference
When you start on a new path it is important to know that you have a reliable ally. So, choose your new cash register after carefully analyzing the dealer's service offer. It will be important for the staff to give you concrete direction in choosing the right fiscal device, as well as compatible accessories. At the same time, personalized assistance in case of difficulties is an essential bonus. A dealer that focuses on customer needs and offers quality alternatives deserves your trust in the future.
- Cash register security, another feature to look into
Don't buy a new cash register until you're sure it protects your receipts. Cash and bank receipts must be kept safe. A quality cash register is equipped with metal cash drawers secured by either a key or a pin, so that no unauthorized person can gain access to the contents.
- Don't forget the tax reduction with the value of the cash register
From August 1, 2020, Law no. 153/2020 for the amendment and completion of the Fiscal Code, as well as for the completion of Law no. 170/2016 regarding the specific tax for certain activities. Through this normative act, it is mentioned that the possibility of reducing the purchase cost related to electronic cash registers from the income tax of micro-enterprises in the quarter in which they were put into operation is established. The reduction is made within the limit of the microenterprise income tax due for the respective quarter.
