AADE: E-mail to 50,000 businesses regarding the obligation to interface POS with cash systems

In sending 50,371 reminder e-mails to professionals and businesses, who have not yet completed the interface of their cash systems with the POS they have, the Independent Public Revenue Authority (AADE) proceeded.
In the AADE letter it is recalled that:
- The deadline for linking is September 30
- The fine for not linking is from 10,000 to 20,000 euros, depending on the category of books
AADE invites businesses to schedule an appointment immediately with their partner, who manufactures or technically supports the Commercial/Accounting management program (ERP), which they use, to interface their POS, with the ERP, which cooperates with their Tax Electronic Mechanism (ETM) or Electronic Invoicing Provider.
AADE for IBAN
Remember that:
- The IBAN chosen by professionals and self-employed persons during their registration must have been declared in the Register of Professional Accounts of AADE, in the digital portal myAADE (myaade.gov.gr) in the Applications route > Tax Services > Business Account
- The limit of 500 euros per day for transactions through IRIS is applied per customer and not to the total of payments that the professional can receive during the 24 hours. For example, a professional can receive in one day 4 payments of 500 euros each (a total of 2,000 euros)
- A fine of 1,500 euros is provided for those liable who do not register with IRIS by the deadline
