With the Fiskaltrust integration, you are able to meet legal requirements and comply with tax regulations in Germany, Austria and France. Fiskaltrust verifies the genuineness of payments in your POS module by signing receipts with a QR code.
Austria
In Austria, an integration with Fiskaltrust is mandatory to comply with the ‘Registrierkassensicherheitsverordnung’ (RKSV) when working with the BEX POS module.
Germany
In Germany, you have to comply with the ‘Kassensicherungsverordnung’ (KassenSichV) and you might be required to connect your registers to a TSE, a ‘Technische Sicherheitseinrichtung’, when working with our POS module. Fiskaltrust supplies this connection.
France
The Fiskaltrust signature is also paramount in France to meet the conditions of the tax administration when working with our POS module.

What does Fiskaltrust do for you?
After our Customer Success team has set up your connection with Fiskaltrust, you will receive the login information to your own Fiskaltrust account. There, you can apply more account settings.
If you are in Austria, you have to connect Fiskaltrust to FinanzOnline. To do so, you need to fill in your FinanzOnline web service user in you Fiskaltrust account. Then, Fiskaltrust will automatically register your POS and forward your signed transactions to FinanzOnline.
QR code signatures on receipts
After the app has been successfully set up, Fiskaltrust will provide receipts for payments made at your POS with a QR code signature. The QR code is therefore linked to the payment and not the invoice as an invoice can be paid with different payment methods.
According to EU regulation, a receipt has to include a QR code, an invoice does not. The QR code contains the information the tax authorities need to check transactions, like the digital signature, serial number, amount and time stamp.
BEX PMS
In the BEX PMS, the payments will appear on the invoices in the Financial module and on the reservations. Click on an invoice and check under ‘Payments’ whether a payment has been made via a register in your PMS. If yes, you can click on the receipt number to go to the receipt. There, you can find the QR code under ‘Signatures’ and can download and print the receipt, if needed.
App Store
Go to the Fiskaltrust detail page and click on ‘Receipts’ to view all receipts from your BEX PMS. You can click on an individual receipt for more information and to sign it via the ‘Sign’ button, but only if it doesn’t have a signature yet. You can also click on ‘View in Booking Experts’ to go the receipts in the PMS.
In case of questions, contact our Customer Success team. They can help you and will contact Fiskaltrust themselves, if necessary.
