Software Certification
The 2011 version of our software is certified by the AT according to Ordinance
No. 363/2010 of 23 June.
What is certification?
From 1 January 2011 Software Certification is Mandatory.
This Directorate General measure of Taxation provides a set of requirements which
seek to incorporate integrated mechanisms of auditing and monitoring into the software
used by tax payers.
Are all companies required to use a Certified Software?
No. Are excluded from this requirement the companies which:
- Use internally developed software (holding the copyright)
- Have exclusive operations with clients engaged in production, trade, service (including those of professional nature) or liberal professionals
- Have had in the previous tax period a turnover less than €150.000
- Have issued in the previous tax year, a number of invoices and similar
documents - or receipts less than 1000 units
Companies that are not in the situations described above shall have their Certified
Software in accordance with the following rules:
- From January 1, 2011, for companies that in 2010 have had a turnover
of more than €250.000 and that, cumulatively, have issued more than €1.000 documents;
- From January 1, 2012, for companies in 2010 have had a turnover of more

26 March (SAF-T PT);
- Owning a system which enables the identification of the invoice register
recording or equivalent documentation and receipts through an asymmetric encryption
algorithm and a private key known only to the producer of the program;
- Owning an access control system requiring an authentication of each
user;
- Do not have any function which - on site or remotely - enables to change
-directly or indirectly - the tax information without producing aggregate evidence
to the original information.
Our Software Certification
Urbinfor software is certificated.
The main changes in the functioning of the software are result of the legal requirements
of certification, as follows:
- The documents which are invoices, receipts or similar documents should
be signed;
- In the printed sales documents – invoices, receipts and similar documents
– the actual expression “computer processed documentation” will be replaced
by the expression “processed by certified program No. xxx (ascribed by
AT)” preceded by four characters of the digital signature (document in question);
- You can not change the data of a digitally signed document. Any required
change compels to the document cancellation and to the creation of a new document
with new data.
