In particular, this refers to the fiscal data processing complex X PRRO, the specialized payment transactions recorder SRRO, the software system Webkassa, the fiscal server iNNOVATE!, Smart KASA, Easy S1, Ukrtrimeks RRO, and the SFS-developed E-Receipt system.

Participants in the pilot project involving innovative technological solutions will use the said newest models to register payment transactions in retail, public catering, currency exchange, vending, money remittances, and passenger transportation.

The pilot project will last until December 31, 2019. Following this, the Finance Ministry will decide on the commercial operation of certain models.

As UNIAN reported earlier, an interdepartmental working group with the participation of Ukraine's Finance Ministry recommended that the eight registrars of payment transactions be included in the State Register for further testing before April 1.

In September 2018, the SFS launched its E-Receipt system for online registration of payment transactions in test mode. It allows tax payers to register cashiers and cash registers online.

All sellers of home appliances, computers, smartphones and other electronics in Ukraine have been obliged to use cash registers since May 2017.
