What Is 2026 Hyper-Depreciation?

Investing in point-of-sale automation means choosing solutions capable of making daily operations more efficient, improving control, and optimising cash management.

In 2026, for companies planning certain investments in new, interconnected capital goods, there is an additional factor to consider: Hyper-Depreciation.

For anyone considering the purchase of an automated cash register, it may therefore be useful to understand this opportunity and explore how it may apply to their investment.

Hyper-Depreciation provides for an increase in the tax-relevant cost of certain investments, allowing the company to obtain a tax benefit over the years.

It is therefore not an immediate discount on the purchase price of the machine: the benefit is linked to the tax treatment of the investment.

The actual applicability of the incentive depends on the characteristics of the asset, the investment made, and compliance with the applicable requirements, which must be certified by industry experts registered with the relevant professional bodies for each individual installation.

For this reason, before purchasing an automated cash register, it is important to understand whether and how the investment may fall within the scope of the incentive.

Hyper-Depreciation and Point-of-Sale Automation

Automation is becoming increasingly important for businesses.

Automated cash registers make it possible to automate cash management and make payment operations more efficient, helping to improve security, control, and the organisation of the point of sale.

The documentation used by Cashmatic to train its sales network also identifies, among the investments of interest to the retail sector, automated cash drawers together with their interconnected checkout stations.

This makes Hyper-Depreciation a particularly interesting topic for businesses considering an investment in automating cash management and payment processes of all types.

What Does This Mean for Those Choosing a Cashmatic Automated Cash Register?

Cashmatic develops solutions for the automation of cash management and payments, designed to meet different point-of-sale needs and configurations.

The range includes SelfPay solutions, dedicated to the automation of cash management, and the VisualPay family, available in different configurations for payment automation.

But please note: the possibility of benefiting from Hyper-Depreciation does not simply depend on purchasing an automated cash register.

Each investment must be assessed in relation to the characteristics of the solution, its configuration, its interconnection, and the other applicable requirements, which must be certified by industry experts registered with the relevant professional bodies for each individual installation.

Therefore, if you are considering purchasing a Cashmatic automated cash register, it is important to obtain the necessary information before proceeding with the investment.

How Much Could the Hyper-Depreciation Benefit Be?

The tax benefit is not the same for every company and cannot be determined solely by considering the price of the automated cash register.

Several factors relating to the investment and the company’s individual circumstances also come into play.

For this reason, rather than referring to a standard saving, it is important to assess each individual project and determine which opportunities may apply.

Our sales team can provide all the information needed to better understand how the incentive works and which aspects should be explored in relation to the investment. These aspects must, in any case, be certified by third parties through experts registered with the relevant professional bodies.

If you are considering introducing automated cash registers into your point of sale, 2026 may be the right time to explore the opportunities associated with Hyper-Depreciation as well.

Before choosing a solution, make sure you are informed about the requirements, the characteristics of the investment, and the opportunities available.
