For your conversation

  1. Receipts

    For transactions within scope, the receipt must be issued and made available in immediate connection with the transaction. It may be provided on paper or, with the recipient's consent, electronically in a standardised data format. Other legal requirements remain unaffected.

  2. Review your processes.

    Ask for a demonstration of receipt provision, cancellations and data export on your own register.

  3. Data access

    Transactions must be recorded in a traceable manner. Document with your provider how to access data and exports.

  4. Gather your documents.

    Keep TSE documents, existing register notifications and data exports where they can be found.
