Wavy is simple to use and constantly innovates. This does not prevent it from complying with mandatory standards and in particular the NF525 mark.
Known to the general public as the "NF525 standard", the NF525 is not a simple standard but rather a certification mark that guarantees that a cash register software complies with the French finance law. It refers to any NF525 certified cash register, required by the French law of January 2018 (based onarticle 88 of the law n°2015-1785 of 20 December 2015 and modified by article 105 of the law 2017-1837 of 30 December 2017). This regulation is a measure aimed at combating tax fraud, in particular VAT fraud, and protecting users.
According to this regulation, any business subject to VAT, which records its financial transactions by means of management, accounting or cash register software, must use a system which complies with the conditions of inalterability (the impossibility of modifying), security, storage and archiving of data, for the control of the tax administration.
Contrary to what you may read sometimes, there is no obligation to have a certified cash register software if you are 100% hand operated. But as soon as you are computerized, you must have certified software, which will make your daily life easier and provide support, freeing up more time for your customers.
The aim is to combat tax fraud and software that facilitates the concealment of VAT receipts. In short, the aim is to combat the black'. This regulation will therefore make fraud impossible. Any breach of this obligation will result in a fine of € 7500, with an ultimatum to settle the situation within 60 days and renewable until confirmation of certification.
Prior to the January 1, 2018 regulation, some systems allowed businesses to avoid recording a sale and the resulting taxes, or to effectively erase it from any digital recording.
To prevent this type of fraud through cash registers, article 88 of the Finance Act requires that if the hairdresser uses cash register software, it must be certified. In order to comply with this law, INFOCERT, with AFNOR certification has developed the NF525 mark which requires that all cash register systems meet four conditions: data inalterability, security, storage and archiving standards.
The requirements of the NF 525 2020 standard can be grouped into 4 areas. This means that the checkout software must be coded to ensure that the data from each sales process is collected, stored and archived in complete security, and that it remains traceable in its integrity.
Our software is updated to ensure that entries collected cannot be modified or deleted. This also means that any changes to a sale, whether an error or a return, must be entered as a new transaction in the system.
Today, only the tickets collected are traced and recorded in a register, but the regulations became stricter from September 2020. Two major changes will therefore be added to the new version of NF525 :
