NF525: a trusted certification for all VAT-registered businesses

While the 2026 Finance Law eases constraints, it in no way diminishes the vigilance of the tax authorities. While certification is no longer required, proof of non-fraud remains the responsibility of the merchant. Clictill retains its NF525 label for one simple reason: your business deserves unfalsifiable data, not just “POS software”.

Don’t gamble on uncertainty, keep the rigor of the best.

AFNOR-certified compliance, far more than just a publisher’s promise.

The NF525 locking system eliminates any risk of manipulation or technical faults.

An official certificate simplifies your audits, where self-certification sows doubt.

All your questions about NF525

What is the NF525 standard?

The NF525 standard is a French certification for POS software and systems used by retailers. It was created to guarantee the reliability and traceability of payment data, ensuring that no sale can be modified, concealed or deleted without trace.

Awarded by accredited bodies such as AFNOR Certification or LNE, it certifies that the software complies with the legal requirements of the VAT anti-fraud law.

In practice, an NF525-certified POS software, like Clictill, guarantees both the tax compliance of your cash receipts and the security of your day-to-day commercial operations.

Is NF525 mandatory?

No, NF525 certification is no longer a legal requirement. With the 2026 Finance Act, the tax authorities no longer impose a single method of proof for POS software.

However, the basic obligation remains: any VAT-registered business that collects its sales via POS software or a POS system must use a tax-compliant tool. This means that every transaction must be recorded in an unalterable, secure, preserved and archived manner, in accordance with ISCA principles. There are now two ways of demonstrating compliance:

self-certification by the publisher, under its own responsibility,
or third-party NF525 certification, issued by an accredited organization (AFNOR, LNE, Infocert).

Even when certification is not compulsory, choosing NF525-certified software, such as Clictill, is still the safest choice. It guarantees the reliability of collection data, legibility in the event of an audit, and peace of mind when dealing with your chartered accountant.

Who is affected by the requirement to use NF525-certified software?

Since the 2026 Finance Act, there is no longer an obligation to have NF525-certified software as such. Regulations no longer impose a single method of proof for POS software.

However, the tax requirements applicable to POS software do apply to :

professionals subject to VAT,
who collect payments from private customers (B2C),
using POS software or systems.

These professionals must use a tool that complies with tax requirements (ISCA principles: inalterability, security, conservation and archiving of data), and be able to provide proof of this in the event of an audit, by publisher self-certification or third-party certification.

Excluded from this framework are:

professionals carrying out exclusively B2B transactions,
those benefiting from basic VAT exemption,
or subject to specific VAT exemptions.

Even if NF525 certification is no longer compulsory, it remains a safe choice for the professionals concerned, particularly when they wish to have an audited and recognized level of proof.

What do I risk if my POS software isn't NF525 certified?

Since the 2026 Finance Act, the absence of NF525 certification in itself is no longer punishable. However, the risks remain if your POS software does not comply with basic tax requirements.

In concrete terms, you could be subject to a penalty if your collection tool does not guarantee :

inalterability of data,
their security,
their preservation,
and archiving (ISCA principles).

In this case, the French General Tax Code stipulates a fine of €7,500 per non-compliant POS software or system. The company then has 60 days to comply. Failure to comply within this timeframe may result in a further fine.

The difference today lies in the level of proof.
Without NF525 certification, compliance will have to be demonstrated by other means (publisher documentation, technical elements, justification of the mechanisms put in place). With NF525 certification, the level of proof is audited, recognized and immediately exploitable, which limits the areas of discussion during an inspection.

Choosing NF525-certified software, such as Clictill, does not eliminate legal obligations, but it does reduce operational risk and provides additional security in the event of a tax audit.

Can I continue to cash out if I have an Internet outage?

Yes, Clictill POS software offers a secure offline mode: your cash receipts are saved locally in the event of a network outage, then automatically synchronized as soon as the connection is re-established.

This operational continuity enables you to maintain your business without interruption – a real guarantee of in-store performance, while remaining compliant.

How can I prove that my POS software complies with NF525 standards during a tax audit?

During an inspection, the authorities may ask to see a certificate issued by an accredited body (e.g. AFNOR, LNE) attesting that your solution meets ISCA requirements.

With Clictill, every customer has a signed NF525 certificate of conformity that you can present at any time.

Make sure you have the exact version of the software certified (version number, date of issue), as required by law.

Does Clictill also manage certified POS equipment (POS terminals, printers, etc.)?

Yes, Clictill is compatible with NF525-certified hardware (POS terminals, ticket printers, cash drawers) and ensures interoperability between your POS software and your hardware.

This ensures a smooth implementation, without having to deal with non-compliant devices that could compromise your overall compliance.

On the accounting side, how does Clictill guarantee NF525 compliance?

Clictill automates the production and export of NF525-certified cash register journals, containing all the information required by the authorities (sales, settlements, cancellations, closings).

These entries are tamper-proof, secure and time-stamped in accordance with AFNOR standards, and can be transmitted directly to your chartered accountant via a dedicated portal.

As a result, your data is always compliant, ready to be archived or checked without the risk of error or tax rejection.
