In short

Electronic fiscalization is the process by which sales of a business in the Republic of Moldova are recorded as fiscal receipts and transmitted electronically to SIA MEV, the monitoring system of the State Tax Service. The MEV solution by Intelectsoft SRL performs the entire process in software: the certified fiscal module issues the receipt (from a phone, tablet, Android terminal or directly from your system), transmits it automatically, and the MEV portal consolidates the archive and reports — no fiscal printer.

Who must apply electronic fiscalization?

The obligation to issue fiscal receipts and transmit data to SIA MEV is set by Moldovan legislation and administered by the State Tax Service. Exact categories, deadlines and exceptions are published by the authority — check your situation on the official portal mev.sfs.md or with your accountant.

As a practical rule: if you collect money from individuals — store, restaurant, services, e-commerce, transport, vending — the activity involves issuing fiscal receipts, and those receipts must reach SIA MEV.

How data flows: from sale to tax authority

The sale — the cashier, POS app or your system records products and amount.
Receipt issuance — the certified fiscal module generates the electronic receipt. The customer receives it by email or SMS; no fiscal printer needed.
Transmission to SIA MEV — receipt data flows automatically to the STS system, with per-receipt status.
Monitoring — the MEV cabinet shows every receipt, its transmission status and consolidated reports. Failed receipts retry automatically. Monitoring details →

Software or classic register?

Electronic fiscalization can also run on classic hardware. The practical difference of a software solution like MEV: no fiscal printer to buy or maintain, your existing devices do the work, and every point of sale is managed from one cabinet. Full comparison: software cash register.
