Switching
Taximeters and fiscal rules, mapped before you switch
Taxi fiscal rules differ by country: Germany requires a TSE fiscal unit on taximeters, Croatia fiscalises every consumer receipt from 2026, and Greece links card terminals to tax reporting. We map your taximeters, fiscal devices and receipts in discovery and test them before any live trip, and TaxiNow in Frankfurt runs taximeter integration and fiscal compliance on the platform.
Rules by country
| Country | What applies to taxis |
|---|---|
| Germany | Taximeters need a certified TSE fiscal unit since 1 January 2024; the transition for older INSIKA meters ended on 1 January 2026. Fixed prices within tariff corridors are allowed for pre-booked rides. |
| Austria | Cash-register rules apply; since March 2021, pre-booked rides may run at an agreed fixed price without a taximeter. |
| Croatia | Every consumer receipt must be fiscalised from 1 January 2026, and B2B e-invoicing has started. |
| Slovenia | Each cash invoice is confirmed with the tax authority (FURS). |
| Bulgaria | Fiscal devices must be registered with the revenue agency (NRA) and connected remotely. |
| Romania | Taxis use fiscal taximeters registered with the tax authority (ANAF). |
| Greece | Card terminals are mandatory in taxis and linked to myDATA tax reporting. |
| Netherlands | The central taxi database (CDT) replaces on-board computers, with the transition ending 1 January 2028. |
How we handle it in a switch
- In discovery, we list every taximeter, fiscal device and receipt type in use, with your IT lead
- In setup, we configure and test the integration, receipts and accounting exports internally
- In the pilot, we reconcile fares, receipts and payouts against real trips before the next group moves
Proven in Germany
TaxiNow in Frankfurt runs taximeter integration and fiscal compliance on eCabs Technologies. See also taximeter integration.
This is general information to help you plan, not legal advice. Rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your city during discovery.
FAQ
Questions operators ask
Which fiscal rules apply to our taxis?
It depends on your country and city. Germany requires a TSE fiscal unit on taximeters, Croatia fiscalises every consumer receipt from 2026, and Bulgaria, Romania and Greece each have their own requirements. We map your exact requirements in discovery, before anything goes live.
Can we switch dispatch systems without disrupting our operation?
That is what the plan is built around. Your current system keeps running underneath every stage until you decide to cut over, so phones, bookings and drivers always have a working system.

How the switch works
Our migration framework runs from understanding your operation to hypercare after go-live.

Where it is appropriate, your current system and eCabs Technologies run in parallel during the migration.
