Like any other large-scale reform in Russia, related to technology, the transfer of retail to online cash desks could not do without a serious failure, and this time it happened during the New Year's peak of sales. This morning, in the whole country, the cash register has stopped working at once by several manufacturers, including the largest barch.

• Due to the failure of thousands of stores and gas stations, they were forcedto stop working , and tax authorities to allow merchants to temporarily work without checks. By 19.00 Moscow time, the failure was eliminated , "only isolated cases remained."
• The reason for the failure, most likely, is the problems in the firmware on fiscal drives - chips on which data on checks are preserved and encrypted. The Shtrich-M website published instructions for restoration of the firmware and a hot support line number.
• Despite the explanations of the Federal Tax Service, many networks, including, for example, the Moscow Magnolia, were forced to stop trade. The Association of Internet trade companies (Akit) estimated the loss of retailers in revenue of 10 billion rubles, in profit-at 2.5 billion.
• The failure occurred during the New Year's peak of sales of retailers. The co -owner of one of the largest networks for the sale of DNS electronics Dmitry Alekseev called the incident "terrible sleep of retailers."
• Related to go to online cash desks from July 1, 2017. Questions arose to reform from the very beginning. For example, at the first stage, a company, a company associated with a little -known entrepreneur, a native of FSB structures Vladimir Shcherbakov, received a monopoly on the production of fiscal drives). In July, it became known that Shcherbakov committed suicide in London.

What am I to me?

Large-scale accidents with the forced transfer of Russian business into a new technology-rather a rule than an exception: it is enough to recall the system of registration of alcohol sales EGAIS, because of which wine, then cognac, then perfumes disappeared from the shelves. Today's history is noteworthy rather a quick and reasonable Federal Tax Service reaction, which allowed most merchants not to stop the business in the high season.

MONEY

Sixth year without savings

Vladimir Putin signed amendments, for the sixth time freezing the accrual of pension savings - this time for 2020. A moratorium on deductions in the amount of 6% of the salary of all working Russians was introduced back in 2014 and has since been extended annually. Instead of accumulative accounts of Russians, these deductions are paid to existing pensioners.

Uber has become like everyone else

The European Court equated Uber to ordinary transport companies, and this decision cannot be appealed. The carrier claimed that he is a computer service that only connects passengers with drivers. The conflict arose in 2015 after complaints about the Uberpop service, which allowed passengers to transport passengers without licenses. In Russia, Uber is all right with this, especially after a merger with Yandex.Taxi: last year the company agreed with the Moscow authorities, which will only work with drivers with official permission.
