The Revenue Administration of the Ministry of Treasury and Finance postponed the requirement for all card payments to be made with new generation cash register POS devices, which was planned to start on November 15, 2024, to January 10, 2025. This postponement was granted to allow the completion of technical infrastructure developments necessary especially for foreign currency collection.
New generation payment recording devices (YN ÖKC) are computer-based devices whose technical specifications have been redefined within the framework of technological developments, capable of securely transferring data and communicating with the Revenue Administration via the internet.
Online Connection: Ability to work continuously online with GİB systems
Secure Data Transfer: Encrypted transmission of sales data
Fiscal Memory: Capacity to store at least 4,000 Z reports and 1 million receipts for 10 years
Integrated POS Feature: Processing bank card payments on the same device
Real-Time Reporting: Instant transmission of sales data to GİB
According to Law No. 3100, first and second-class merchants engaged in retail goods and services sales are required to use Payment Recording Devices. These taxpayers are also covered by the New Generation PCR requirement.
First and second-class merchants
Businesses engaged in retail goods and services sales
Those making sales without invoice issuance obligation
All taxpayers currently using PCR
Large-scale businesses meeting certain conditions may apply for exemption:
Annual sales revenue exceeding 10 million TL
Balance sheet assets exceeding 10 million TL
Businesses with more than 50 PCRs
YN PCRs are offered in two main types:
Integrated devices containing a bank POS
No need for external POS connection
Both cash register and POS operations in one device
Devices without built-in POS
External POS device can be connected by cable
Can work integrated with existing POS systems
July 1, 2024: EFT-POS compatible YN PCR usage requirement began
November 15, 2024: First postponed date
January 10, 2025: Final transition date
January 17, 2025: Bank reporting date
The usage period of Old Generation PCRs expires on January 10, 2025. After this date, old-type devices will be shut down.
The statement emphasized that some taxpayers requested postponement of the transition process until the necessary technical infrastructure for foreign currency collection is provided, and that the current postponement was made as a result of the need for some technical developments to enable foreign currency collection on POS devices also on new generation devices.
This postponement was particularly welcomed in the following sectors:
Tourism businesses
Hotels
Jewelers
Businesses collecting foreign currency
Special Irregularity Penalty will be applied to taxpayers who are required to use New Generation PCR but do not. Additionally, the penalty for taxpayers who do not accept payment by debit or credit card is 10,000 TL for each detection for second-class merchants.
Special Irregularity Penalty: For not using YN PCR
Card Payment Refusal Penalty: 10,000 TL per detection (for II. class merchants)
Receipt Issuance Penalty: Separate penalty for each unissued receipt
A special irregularity penalty of 4,200.00 TL is imposed for 2025.
YN PCRs are purchased from sales dealers of authorized PCR companies by presenting identification. Dealers perform the taxpayer status inquiry on the Revenue Administration's www.gib.gov.tr website, have the customer sign the inquiry printout, and then complete the sales transaction.
The activation of the device purchased from the dealer is performed by the authorized PCR companies' service centers. Taxpayers who purchase the device from the dealer apply to the authorized service with the device, certificate, and invoice.
Additionally, those using New Generation PCR are also required to make a merchant agreement with at least one bank or payment service provider to offer payment by debit/credit card.
Taxpayers must scrap Old Generation PCRs, stop using mobile EFT-POS devices, and return them to the institution they purchased from.
Single Device Solution: Cash register and POS operations together
Automatic Reporting: Elimination of manual data entry needs
Fast Processing: Faster process for customer payments
Inventory Management: Advanced product tracking and reporting
Tax Compliance: Compliance through automatic GİB notification
Transparency: Recording of all transactions
Audit Convenience: Easy audit with electronic records
YN PCRs' operating system must have at least 32-bit or higher data processing capacity. Also, it must be able to perform data sending to PCR TSM Center, remote management, encryption, I/O (Input/Output), receipt issuance, etc. operations simultaneously with multiprocess capability.
Operating System: At least 32-bit
Connection: Internet/GSM connection
Memory: 10-year data storage capacity
Security: Encryption and secure data transfer

Taxpayers who do not transition to YN PCR by January 10 may face penal sanctions. Additionally, Old Generation PCRs will be shut down from this date.
If you accept card payments, you can choose EFT-POS enabled; if you only do cash transactions, you can choose basic/computer-connected YN PCR.
Device prices vary by brand and features. You can get current price information from authorized dealers.
Taxpayers who transition to YN PCR before January 10, 2025, will not face Special Irregularity Penalty sanctions. Additionally, since Old Generation PCRs will be shut down on January 10, they will have prevented disruption to their business.
Act Now: Limited time remains until January 10
Research Authorized Dealers: Purchase from GİB-approved dealers
Bank Agreement: Prepare your payment infrastructure
Staff Training: Prepare your team for new system usage
Plan Testing Process: Test after device activation
This requirement is not just a legal obligation but also an important opportunity for your business's digital transformation. Complete your transition by utilizing the postponement period and avoid potential penalties.
