Hungary’s most immediate fiscalization deadline is not 2028. From 1 September 2026, data from manual receipts and receipts generated by computer systems must also be reported electronically to NAV.

The electronic cash-register regulation has been in force since April 2025, and approved electronic cash registers have been available since July 2025.

Existing online cash registers may continue operating during the transition, but businesses currently required to use them will generally have to move to approved hardware-based electronic cash registers by 1 July 2028.

The September 2026 reporting obligation creates the nearer operational challenge.

Businesses that still issue manual receipts or use computer-generated receipts outside an online cash-register system will need a process to submit the data, generally within three calendar days and summarised by day and VAT rate.

Businesses using electronic cash registers will meet this obligation automatically because the required receipt data is sent directly to NAV.

For retailers, this affects more than the receipt itself. POS and accounting systems must classify data correctly, produce the required daily summaries and preserve consistency between the original sale, the receipt and the information transmitted to the tax authority.

A weak manual workaround may create gaps that are difficult to reconcile later.

Retailers and solution providers should identify every receipt flow outside the current online cash-register environment, define who is responsible for reporting and test the complete data path before 1 September.

Will AI agents need their own VAT numbers?

Agentic commerce is moving quickly from theory to reality.

Soon, AI agents may search for products, compare suppliers, negotiate terms, place orders, authorize payments, receive invoices and initiate returns—sometimes without a human actively participating in each step.

That creates a fundamental VAT question:
Who is actually buying or selling?

Imagine a German company using an American AI platform, running on servers in Ireland, to purchase goods from a French supplier.

Which VAT identity should the agent use?
The country where the server is located?
The country of the company that developed the agent?
Or the country of the business using it?

At first glance, giving every AI agent its own VAT number might appear logical.

But under today’s VAT principles, a VAT number identifies the taxable person behind an economic activity—not the software performing the task.

The server location should not determine the VAT treatment. Cloud workloads can move between countries, operate across several regions simultaneously, or change without altering the underlying commercial relationship.

The agent developer’s VAT identity should also not automatically apply. It becomes relevant only when that company is genuinely acting as the supplier, intermediary, platform, merchant of record or deemed supplier.

In most transactions, the correct approach would be different:

The AI agent should have its own verifiable digital identity, but it should act under the VAT identity of the legal person it represents.

An agentic transaction may therefore need three connected identities:

1️⃣ Agent identity
Which technical agent performed the action?

2️⃣ Principal identity
Which company or consumer was legally represented?

3️⃣ Mandate and role
Was the agent authorized to buy, sell, negotiate, pay, accept invoices or initiate corrections?

For a business purchase, the agent should normally present the VAT number of the company—and the relevant establishment—for which it is acting.

For a consumer purchase, there may be no customer VAT number.

For a merchant-side agent, the supplier’s VAT identity remains relevant.

And where an agentic platform controls pricing, payment, delivery, terms or refunds, the platform itself may move beyond being a neutral technology provider and acquire VAT obligations of its own.

The future solution may therefore not be an “AI VAT number.”

It may be an Agentic Commerce Tax Passport connecting the agent, its principal, its authority, its role and the evidence behind every transaction.

This is the type of question we are exploring at Fiscal Solutions.

Because agentic commerce does not only need smarter checkout technology.

It needs a legally understandable, deterministic and auditable tax identity model.

Agents may need tax identities—but they should not automatically become taxpayers.

04/08/2026

From 1 September 2026, every business established in France and covered by the reform must be able to receive electronic invoices and designate an Approved Platform. For large and mid-sized enterprises, the same date also starts mandatory e-invoice issuance and e-reporting.

The penalty framework separates these obligations. A business that has not designated an Approved Platform may first receive a formal notice and up to three months to correct the situation. Continued non-compliance may lead to a EUR 500 fine, followed by EUR 1,000 for each additional three-month period.

For businesses already required to issue e-invoices, a failure to issue or transmit an invoice through an Approved Platform may result in EUR 50 per invoice, capped at EUR 15,000 per calendar year. Missing mandatory e-reporting data may lead to EUR 500 per transmission, also capped at EUR 15,000 annually.

The operational risk is therefore broader than invoice format alone. Platform designation, invoice routing, customer and supplier data, ERP interfaces, status handling and evidence of corrective action all need to work together. A company may be ready to create a structured invoice but still fail because the selected platform, transmission process or reporting flow is incomplete.

Retailers and technology providers should confirm the Approved Platform, test end-to-end transmission and reception, document incidents and verify which entities enter the issuance and e-reporting scope in 2026 and which follow in 2027.

SHEIN’s IPO numbers tell a much bigger story than revenue, customer growth or profitability.

In the latest episode of Retail Talks, I look at how SHEIN compares with Inditex, why its highly flexible model enabled such extraordinary global growth, and how regulatory pressure, tariffs, rising fulfilment costs and changing import rules are now forcing the company to adapt.

The numbers point to three important strategic shifts:
SHEIN is reducing its dependence on the United States and Europe, expanding from retailer to marketplace, and moving from direct shipments out of China toward more local and regional inventory hubs.

The IPO may therefore be less about financing further growth and more about financing the reinvention of SHEIN’s business model.

The date is fixed, with no postponement, but there is implementation tolerance.

The deadline for e-invoicing in France is 1 September 2026, and it remains fixed, with no official change. If companies are unable to meet that date, they will need evidence explaining why.

As this is now a very critical phase, it is good that the French Directorate General of Public Finances has issued guidelines for the start-up period.

From 1 September, all companies must be able to receive e-invoices. Large and mid-sized companies must also be able to issue them through officially approved platforms.

The temporary use of PDFs, emails or even paper can support business continuity, but it does not change the mandatory introduction of e-invoicing.

As evidence will be required if businesses are unable to fulfil the requirements on time, they should retain all platform contracts, test plans, support tickets, dated implementation records and corrective measures, and be prepared to present them upon request.

These records may become essential evidence of whether a company was actively implementing the reform or simply remained unprepared.

There are also many details that must be carefully designed and implemented. For example, a platform rejection and a buyer refusal are not the same event. One is a technical problem, while the other is a business response.

The systems retailers use for e-invoicing should treat them differently.

We recommend activating every flow that is ready, testing receipt and issuance scenarios, cleaning master data, documenting open defects and defining temporary continuity procedures. For everything else, keep evidence of all implementation activities.

The French government is being realistic and allowing for difficulties during the start-up phase, but it is not moving the starting line.

A fiscal receipt may be generated in seconds, but the compliance logic behind it is much more complex.

As the Czech Republic prepares for a new fiscalization system next year, retailers and technology providers need to understand not only which sales data must be recorded, but also how communication with the tax authority will work in practice.

This short clip from our latest webinar explains one important part of that process.

Sales data will be transmitted in a predefined XML structure through an authenticated message, and when the message has been properly received, the fiscal management system will return a unique confirmation code, the POK, to the cash register.

At the same time, the taxpayer or seller will not be required to include this code on the receipt or another customer-facing output.

This may sound like a small technical detail, but details like this determine how POS software, fiscalization components and complete retail systems must be designed, integrated and tested.

When the legal requirement, communication sequence and responsibilities between the systems are not fully understood, even a technically successful integration can create compliance risks.

Our webinar brought together representatives from across the entire industry, including retailers, POS software vendors, compliance solution providers, consultants and other specialists.

This is exactly what our webinars have been built around for years: creating a well-established place where the industry can understand upcoming requirements, compare perspectives and prepare before implementation becomes urgent.

At Fiscal Solutions, we organize one webinar every month. Stay tuned for the next one.

🚨 HOT: FNN - Fiscal News Network Q2 2026 🚨

Fiscal compliance rarely changes in just one country at a time. The real challenge begins when everything starts moving at once.

During Q2 2026, new developments emerged across Romania, Austria, Serbia, the Czech Republic, Kosovo, the Netherlands, Brazil, Spain, Belgium and Republika Srpska.

Each update may look manageable on its own, but together they create a much more demanding picture for retailers, POS software vendors and compliance teams operating internationally.

One country introduces new technical requirements, another adjusts reporting obligations, while somewhere else deadlines, system architectures or implementation expectations begin to shift.

The pressure grows quickly, because missing even one important development can lead to delayed projects, incorrect system decisions or unnecessary compliance risks.

The second problem is that this information is rarely available in one place.

Teams often need to follow authorities, technical documentation, legal publications and local market updates across many jurisdictions, while still trying to understand which changes actually matter for their business.

👉 That is exactly why we created FNN – Fiscal News Network.

In our new Q2 2026 edition, we bring the most important fiscalization developments from around the world directly to your screen, structured by country and explained in a clear and practical way.

🚨Critical from 1 August 2026! 🚨

The change to the validation API for taxpayers in Malaysia is critical. It is actually changing the master data, not the invoice logic, and that is what makes it complex.

Besides that, the MyInvois SDK has changed, and the new e-Invoice Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP) document version has been introduced. In the previous version 1.2, a digital signature was not used. Now, in the new version 1.3, a digital signature is included. Both versions are supported and can be used until 30 September 2027.

On the other hand, there is also an operational issue related to buyer-data quality. In many cases, retailers and solution providers have TIN and BRN data in different systems and even in different formats. As both values are becoming mandatory, this becomes a problem. It is no longer only a question of data inconsistency, but a question of the e-invoicing implementation itself.

Other changes in the official SDK are going in a similar direction.

We recommend that teams review their customer master data, identify records without reliable TIN and BRN combinations, update the validation logic and test it very carefully. You should especially test exceptional invoice scenarios, as these use cases hide many complexities. Do not forget to check that amount formatting and state-code usage follow the revised SDK rules.
