CrimeaPRESS reports:

The head of the operational control department told Sevastopol taxpayers about this at a webinar Petr Udovichenko.

The speaker noted that in order to increase the transparency of settlements with consumers, the list of cases when it is possible to work without a cash register has been reduced. From March 1, 2025, only three categories of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs can work without cash registers at markets, fairs, and exhibitions:

• retail organizations and individual entrepreneurs applying the taxation system for agricultural producers “Unified Agricultural Tax”, having no more than 3 retail outlets on the market with a total area of ​​no more than 15 square meters;
• agricultural consumer cooperatives (except for agricultural credit consumer cooperatives) when selling goods on the basis of a retail purchase and sale agreement. The benefit is designed for six months and will not be applied from September 2025;
• individual entrepreneurs on the patent taxation system who are engaged in:

— production and repair of metal haberdashery, keys, license plates, street signs;

— production of folk arts and crafts;

— production and restoration of carpets and rugs;

— activities in the field of sound recording and publishing of musical works;

— hunting, catching and shooting wild animals;

— retail trade (through facilities without a sales area);

— catering services (through facilities with and without a service hall);

— production of leather and leather products;

— collection and procurement of food forest resources, non-timber forest resources and medicinal plants;

— processing and canning of fruits and vegetables;

— production of dairy products;

— crop production (including providing services in this area);

— production of bakery and flour confectionery products;

— fishing and fish farming;

— livestock farming (including providing services in the field of livestock farming);

— grain grinding, production of flour and cereals from grains of wheat, rye, oats, corn or other grains.

The speaker emphasized that entrepreneurs under the patent taxation system are obligated not to use CCT within the framework of these types of activities only on the territory of the fair, which is regularly organized and held only on weekends and non-working holidays.

Petr Udovichenko noted that from March 1, 2025, new rules for interaction between tenants and market management companies will apply. Thus, potential tenants, when concluding a lease agreement for a retail space, will be required to provide documentary evidence of the presence of a cash register, and the market management company will verify the fact of its registration. If a violation is established, the tenant can correct the inconsistencies with the legislation within 15 days. If the violations are not eliminated, the agreement on providing a place for trading on the market is terminated by the management company unilaterally.

In addition, from March 1, 2025, amendments will come into force that will reduce the time for providing services for cash register registration procedures by half — to 5 working days. In addition, new methods of registration, re-registration and deregistration of cash registers have been approved. From September 1, 2025, the existing options will be supplemented by the possibility of submitting an application in electronic form through the State Services portal, through the OFD, and through the cash register manufacturer.

At the end of the speech Petr Udovichenko reminded that by March 1, all categories of entities trading on the market who are obliged to use cash register equipment must decide on the choice of equipment, carry out the necessary procedures for its registration and ensure its use in accordance with current legislation.
