Frequently asked questions
Does the purchase book meet the requirements of the trade office?
It records the details that § 38 GewO requires, consecutively and unalterably: seller with ID, description of goods, price, payment method. For inspections you present the CSV export.
What applies to gold purchases over €2,000 in cash?
The POS requires full identification under the AML Act before paying out. Alternatively, you pay by bank transfer or offset against a sale.
Can I move purchased goods straight into sales?
Yes. Purchased pieces get labels and can be created as items – the resale stays linked to the purchase.
