Cash registers must be switched to winter time by 20 November

Businesses that accept cash or cards must reset the clock on their fiscal cash registers by 20 November, after Moldova switches to winter time. Clocks go back one hour on the night of 24–25 October.

The State Tax Service reminds that a cash register counts as working only if receipts show the current date and time with a deviation of no more than 15 minutes. If the clock is not adjusted in time, the device will be considered faulty, and using it for sales breaks the rules. The time is set according to the manual of each model.

What it means for you

• After 25 October, print a test receipt on every register in your shop, café or salon and check the time.
• If you are unsure how to adjust it, contact the service centre early — queues build up close to the deadline.
• The deadline is 20 November; after that a register with the wrong time is treated as faulty.
