Receipts for down payments and multipurpose Vouchers (Italy)
According to the latest information (as of March 30, 2026), all cash registers (RT) will be connected to the POS terminals in the coming weeks or months. As a result, in addition to the current daily revenue reports, all POS payments will also be transmitted to the Revenue Agency (AdE) in the future. This comprehensive data on revenue and payments will enable the AdE to conduct fully automated cross-checks in the future.
To ensure that revenue and payments match exactly for any given period, amounts not subject to VAT (non soggetto IVA) should—and must—also be reported to the AdE in Italy going forward, just as is the case in Germany and Austria with Fiskaltrust. This primarily concerns multipurpose vouchers (buoni multiuso) and deposits (caparre), for which no VAT document (invoice/receipt) needs to be issued.
Starting with version 26.01, ASA HOTEL will include a new option under System Configuration → Operations → Billing → Cash Register Receipts for Deposits and Multi-Purpose Vouchers. When this option is enabled, final billing accounts (account statements) for deposits and multi-purpose vouchers will also be transferred to the cash register with NS (non soggetto). (After activating this setting, the master services must be restarted)
On the “documento commerciale” of the closing document (settlement account), these amounts are shown as“sconto a pagare”and deducted.
To do this, new payment types must be sent to the RT POS system. We have updated these default payment types for all supported POS systems. To ensure they take effect after the option described above is activated, they must not be overridden in the mapping table for predefined payment types. Therefore, unnecessary entries will be removed from this table during the update. These are entries that previously corresponded to our standard payment types.
Under normal circumstances, everything should therefore work properly after the option is activated.
New option under System Configuration → Operations → Billing → "Cash Register Receipts for Prepaid Cards and Multi-Purpose Vouchers." When this option is enabled, final billing accounts (account statements) for prepaid cards and multi-purpose vouchers are also transferred to the cash register with NS (non soggetto).
No cash register adjustments are required
Similarly, no adjustments are needed for the cash register’s VAT categories if there is already an entry for a VAT code outside the VAT range (official type N2.2). For example, the VAT code FCO (0% and not VAT- —which most customers in Italy use for deposits and multipurpose gift certificates—does not need to be assigned to a category if there is already a category assignment for VAT code FC (0% and VAT-relevant), which will most likely be the case (you may want to check briefly before or after the update).
For customers who do not enable the new option, the previous payment types remain the default (see old payment types). If these customers still wish to list down payments and multipurpose vouchers as “sconto a pagare” on the “documento commerciale” of the closing document, manual entries must be made in the predefined payment types (e.g., for Epson XML, one entry of type “Down Payment” with external code 6.0 and one of type “Voucher” with external code 6.1). This setting or behavior would also be possible without updating to version 26.01.
No adjustments are necessary for the various RT cash registers. Therefore, for virtually all ASA installations, it should be sufficient to enable the option “Cash register receipts for cash payments and multipurpose vouchers” under System Configuration → Operations → Billing and then explicitly inform these customers about the new behavior.
If there are business consultants who believe that Angelder and multipurpose vouchers should not be transferable in the future either, then the solution is simply not to activate the new option. There are various opinions and interpretations on this topic; we at ASA recommend this new approach.
