KassenSichV and DSFinV-K (Germany)
The German Kassensicherungsverordnung (KassenSichV) requires a certified technical security device (TSE). Count-IT uses the cloud TSE from Fiskaly GmbH for this. That TSE is the certified component, and Count-IT connects to it through an API integration. This is how the till meets the KassenSichV requirements, and how Count-IT supports GoBD compliance.
Every transaction started or completed in Count-IT is automatically forwarded to Fiskaly. There, the data, such as item name, quantity, VAT category and discounts, is digitally recorded and signed. The signature appears in the footer of the receipt and confirms the authenticity of the transaction.
Users can easily download DSFinV-K files, which are essential for tax audits in Germany.
GoBD (Germany)
Together with Interev GmbH, Count-IT B.V. has drawn up official procedural documentation (Verfahrensdokumentation). It has been certified and sealed by Interev and serves as proof that Count-IT complies with the German GoBD guidelines.
Proper Verfahrensdokumentation is mandatory when using electronic POS systems in Germany. It prevents bookkeeping from being rejected during a tax audit and provides transparency about how the system works.
What is GoBD?
GoBD stands for Grundsätze zur ordnungsmäßigen Führung und Aufbewahrung von Büchern, Aufzeichnungen und Unterlagen in elektronischer Form sowie zum Datenzugriff. It is a guideline from the German Federal Ministry of Finance that sets out how businesses must store their accounts and tax-relevant documents digitally. The GoBD sets requirements for:
- completeness and accuracy of data;
- immutability of documents;
- accessibility for tax audits;
- documentation of processes and digital archiving.
Failure to comply with the GoBD can lead to tax penalties, reassessments or even criminal consequences.
Daily receipts book and cash book (Belgium)
Count-IT B.V. has a direct API integration with Scrada. This lets you use the Daily receipts book (dagontvangstenboek) and Cash book (kasboek) modules from within Count-IT. These digital accounting modules comply with Belgian accounting legislation and with Circulaire 2020/C/20 of 27 January 2020 issued by the FPS Finance.
Peppol e-invoicing (Belgium)
Since 1 January 2026, Belgian VAT-registered businesses must send and be able to receive structured e-invoices between each other, in practice via the Peppol network. There are exceptions, for example for businesses that only carry out exempt transactions (Article 44 of the Belgian VAT Code), and invoices to consumers are not covered. See the official explanation from the FPS Finance (in Dutch).
Peppol is a European network for secure, standardised electronic invoicing and document exchange between businesses and public authorities. It is not a software package, but an infrastructure that connects invoicing software. Within Count-IT you work with Peppol thanks to the integration with Scrada: e-invoices are sent quickly, reliably and in compliance with the regulations.
Please note: Count-IT sends e-invoices via Peppol but does not receive Peppol invoices. Because receiving is also mandatory in Belgium, you arrange that through your accounting software or another Peppol service provider.
