The Government is reintroducing the logo "Let's Buy Macedonian Products", "For Our Own Good", "Made in Macedonia" and the sun on fiscal receipts as of 1 January 2014. They will also include the total turnover of Macedonian goods. The objective is to support the local economy and to raise public awareness on the importance of buying Macedonian products.
The move, announced Wednesday by Deputy PM and Finance Minister Zoran Stavreski at a press conference, is part of the latest amendments to the Law on Registration of Cash Payments, adopted recently by the Government.
"These changes aim at improving the Macedonian economy, supporting the use of Macedonian products, because the production of Macedonian goods depends on whether they are being purchased and used by consumers. Considering the general conditions in the European and Macedonian economy, we think it is necessary to support Macedonian products and encourage consumers to buy and use them more," Stavreski said.
The amendments envisage cash registers to be connected with the Public Revenue Office in order the institution to have a clear insight into turnover registration executed through cash registers.
The provision will enter into force from Jan. 1 till March 1 next year for firms with a turnover of over 10 million denars, taxpayers who are involved in the catering industry and in oil derivatives retail. For other businesses the deadline expires on 1 June 2014.
