Fiscal rules by country

Matjar sells in every country. In all of them the till keeps secured records: a chained journal, signed closings and a signed archive. Some countries add their own rules for certified tills; the till follows them when your business is under those rules.

This page describes what the till does. It is not tax advice: check your obligations with your accountant.

The compliance badge

The till and Tadbir show a badge for each country:

Badge	Meaning
Certified	A signed attestation or certificate covers this software version for this country
Certification in progress	The country's rules are built in. Its attestation or certificate is not signed yet
No local certification	Secured records, but no rule specific to this country
Not subject	You declared your business outside the country's certified-till rules

The proof, when one is signed, is shown on the till in Owner › Data › Archive, and in Tadbir under Finance › Till fiscal & e-reporting › Trail and proofs.

Is your business under the certified-till rules?

At setup, the till asks Must your business use a certified till? In Tadbir, each shop asks the same question.

Country	Hint the till gives
France	Not required for sales to professionals only (all invoiced), under the VAT franchise, or with VAT-exempt sales only
Tunisia	Required for businesses serving food or drink on the premises, even as a side activity
Saudi Arabia	Required for VAT-registered businesses
Other countries	Check your country's rules

• Yes: the till follows the country's rules and asks for the details they need.
• No: the till asks only for your name and address. Your records stay secured, and nothing is sent to the tax authority.

WARNING

The choice goes one way. You can come under the rules later, but a till under the rules never leaves them.

To come under the rules later: on a standalone till, open Owner › Account › Business and choose My business now comes under the rules. For a connected till, do it on the shop in Tadbir (Matjar › Tills & shops); its tills follow at their next sync. Fill in the missing business details first.

France

• A business under the VAT franchise ticks it at setup: the till charges no VAT. Coming under the rules ends the franchise and adds the usual VAT rates.
• Activation creates the usual rates: 20 %, 10 %, 5.5 % and 2.1 %. Food can have one rate for eating in and another otherwise.
• The accounting entries export uses the FEC layout.

Tunisia

A Tunisian till under the rules signs every ticket through the State's fiscal module (NACEF's S-MDF) before it prints. The till sells only while the module is ready.

1. Fill in the seller's details in Owner › Account › Business: legal name, trade name, store ID and tax number.
2. Open Owner › Account › Fiscal module and choose Request the certificate. The request waits for the tax administration's approval.
3. Choose Synchronise. The first synchronisation gives Ticket 0: print it and keep it.

The page then shows whether the till can sell, the module's identifiers, and the certificate's end date. The till warns before the certificate expires: renew it with NACEF before then.

Also for Tunisia:

• Each tax needs its official code. A ticket with a tax that has none is refused: set the code in Taxes.
• Products carry a family code, and a customer can carry the fiscal details the receipt must print (tax ID, and a tax-advantage reference where one applies).
• Activation creates the usual rates: 19 %, 13 % and 7 %.
• After a restore onto a new till, commission the fiscal module again.

When the module does not answer, is suspended or has not been synchronised, the till says why and what to do on the selling screen.

What a country's rules can forbid

Under some countries' rules the till refuses to change a price at the till, or to correct its clock. The till says so when it refuses.
