Poland is one of the oldest fiscal countries using fiscal cash registers and fiscal printers. In period of 25 years there was no technological advancement, all devices were based on fiscal memory. Poland is country with approximately 2 million cash registers, among which 600.000 have twin-roll printer (receipt and paper journal roll).

According to Eurostat statistics shadow economy in Poland is estimated at 50 billion zł (more than 11 billon of EUR).

After years of hesitation, the federal German government takes up the fight against manipulated receipts. Until the draft bill, (“A draft law for protection against manipulation of digital recordings”) presented in March 2016, there was no special requirements in Germany, to deal with manipulated cash registeres. The lack of this regulation resulted in a growing number of taxpayers found to be manipulating sale data records from year to year. Recently, in July 2016, the draft bill was supplemented with amendments which was further defining the individual articles of the previous draft bill and prolonging date of the law implementation.

Six months after the launch of the online certified cash registers in Slovenia, number of certified receipts is stabilized at about 3 million per day. Already more than half a billion receipts are signed and stored with Revenue Authority up to now.
