What do the regulations say for POS software?

Since the 2016 Finance Act, POS software must guarantee the inalterability, security, retention and archiving of data (CGI, art. 286, I, 3° bis). UNITICE software meets the 4 legal conditions for POS software.

These are the two supporting documents the law accepts (CGI, art. 286, I, 3° bis). NF525 certification is issued by an accredited body; the individual attestation is drawn up by the software publisher, on the model set by the administration. UNITICE software meets the 4 legal conditions for POS software, and its software publisher attests to it.

Because the law places them on the same footing. UNITICE software meets the 4 legal conditions for POS software, and its publisher attests to it, as article 286 of the General Tax Code has allowed since the Finance Act for 2026. Rather than funding a certification, UNITICE invests in what goes further: third-party fiscal processing, as an option, entrusts your fiscal data to an independent third party, and e-reporting will send your sales to the tax authority from September 2027. We think that is where the future of tax audit lies.

For the strongest guarantee: your fiscal data handled by an independent third party, beyond challenge even by us. It is a subscription option, and it is not included in the base.

Any person subject to VAT who records payments from private customers with POS software.

The certificate of an accredited body or the software publisher's individual attestation, in accordance with the template set by the tax authority (BOI-LETTRE-000242). For UNITICE, it is the software publisher's attestation: the user business completes and signs part 2 of it.
