Many businesses want to anticipate the introduction of e-night by when and how its operations will be affected, especially if you are currently PC-based online cash register used with the Anteus TicketControl ticketing and access control system or the Anteus ParkControl pay-and-park system. In this article we summarise, what to look out for now, and how long existing cash register solutions can legally be used.
What is e-silence?
From e-receipt (electronic receipt) the digital equivalent of a paper spring. The e-ink is only by e-wallet can be issued in electronically authenticated form.
The e-silence:
- will be automatically transmitted to the NAV system (commonly known as „receipt register”),
- digitally accessible to the customer (for example, via a mobile app),
- replaces the paper tray by default, but paper springs can still be provided at the buyer's request.
Important: traditional online cash register cannot issue an e-certificate.
Who is affected by the introduction of e-night?
The e-consumption will mainly affect businesses that:
- give a receipt instead of an invoice, and
- are typically engaged in retail sales or services.
Typical stakeholders:
- retailers,
- hairdressers, beauticians,
- mechanics, repairers,
- other residential service providers.
Akik issue an invoice only, will continue to operate under the rules for online billing and will not be covered by the e-night.
When is e-sleep compulsory?
This is the point where we encounter the most misunderstandings, so it is important to make a clear distinction between e-receipts and electronic receipt reporting.
Important distinction
- The e-silence a specific type of document, which e-wallet only can be issued.
- Electronic receipt reporting means that the receipt data is sent electronically to the NAV.
What does the legislation require from 1 September 2026?
👉 From 1 September 2026, the issuance of e-notes will not be mandatory, but that all your receipts are sent electronically to NAV.
This is the obligation:
- can be completed by e-wallet (in case of e-wallets), and
- can be completed with the current online cash register (OPG), in the usual way.
Legal certainty for OPG users
If you are a business:
- currently online cash register (OPG) uses, and
- it shall be held until 1 July 2028,
then:
✅ operate legally until 1 July 2028, ✅ continue can give paper peace, ✅ and not be obliged to issue an e-certificate, as OPG is not technically suitable for this.
When will e-consumption become truly universal?
👉 After 1 July 2028, when online cash registers will be phased out for good. From that date:
- OPG can no longer be used,
- receipt only by e-wallet can be set up,
- which automatically means e-rest.
In summary: From September 2026, it is not the e-receipt that will be mandatory, but the electronic receipt reporting.
In practice, the e-wave will become inevitable with the phasing out of OPGs in 2028.
What is an e-wallet?
From e-wallet a solution specifically designed for the release of e-cigarettes. It can be:
- hardware-based, or
- cloud-based (cloud) system.
Both solutions are legally applicable, the choice depends on the business's operations and IT environment.
What will happen to the current online cash register?
If the company is currently online cash register (OPG) - for example, a PC-based system with access control - then:
- from 1 July 2025 can voluntarily switch to an e-wallet,
- the OPG still temporarily usable,
- en No longer applicable after 1 July 2028 for the activities concerned.
This is particularly important for those planning for the longer term with existing access control or integrated systems.
How is the data reported to NAV?
The way in which data is reported to the NAV depends on the type of voucher:
- For an invoice: via online invoicing software
- In case of calm (temporarily): with online cash register (until 1 July 2028)
- For e-sunset: by e-wallet
Short summary
- Who is obliged to? Those who give a receipt instead of an invoice
- When is it compulsory? 1 September 2026.
- When is it optional? 1 July 2025.
- How long can I use the online cash register? Until 1 July 2028
- Paper spring to be abolished? No, still available on request
