Transmission of fiscal data: goodbye hardware

The transmission of fiscal data is a mandatory process introduced by the Italian Revenue Agency to digitalize fiscal reporting. Retailers, POS providers, and system integrators must submit daily sales data accurately and on time. In this page, you will discover how the process works, legal deadlines, penalties for late or missing submissions, and the advantages of cloud-based solutions.

The telematic transmission of fiscal data is an obligation introduced by the Italian Revenue Agency to digitalize fiscal reporting. Every retailer, POS solution provider, or system integrator must transmit daily sales data accurately, avoiding errors or delays that may result in penalties.

The telematic transmission of fiscal data consists of the daily submission of sales data to the Revenue Agency through certified devices or approved software solutions. This process ensures compliance, traceability, and security, reducing manual errors and simplifying fiscal management.

Transmission Methods up to Today

  • Telematic Register (RT): a certified device that records and automatically transmits sales data via a secure HTTPS protocol.
  • RT Server: a centralized system that manages multiple POS terminals, digitally seals transactions, and reduces maintenance costs.
  • Free web procedure: available on the “Fatture e Corrispettivi” portal, allows manual entry of daily data in case of device malfunction or absence of an RT.

The Future Is Here: Transmission Without a Telematic Cash Register

Starting in 2026, with the introduction of Art. 24 of Legislative Decree 1/2024, Italy will allow an alternative to the traditional telematic cash register: sales data can be transmitted directly through certified software, without the need for dedicated hardware.

This represents a major shift towards fully digital fiscalization: more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective, aligned with European models of cloud-based fiscalization.

With cloud software solutions like fiskaly SIGN IT, you can transmit sales data without physical hardware, using a simple and fast API integration within your POS systems. This alternative enables up to 80% cost savings compared to traditional telematic cash registers.

The regulation provides that, in case of technical failure or lack of internet connection, receipts may be transmitted within 12 days. Beyond this deadline, penalties apply. With a cloud solution via API, you can automate the process, minimize errors, and always meet deadlines.

Failure to submit receipts, as well as late submissions, leads to administrative fines proportional to the undeclared tax and, in more severe cases, even suspension of business operations. To avoid risks, it is crucial to adopt a reliable and up-to-date solution that ensures constant and compliant transmission of data.

From 2026, receipts transmission will be possible directly via software, thanks to fiskaly SIGN IT. This method eliminates dependency on physical hardware, automates data transmission, and ensures constant updates in line with regulatory changes.
