Cash Transactions: Stricter Fines for Transactions Over 500 Euros - What Changes

Monday, 30 March 2026/CretaOne/1 

A new bill from the Ministry of National Economy and Finance introduces stricter rules for cash transactions. As of now, the 500 euro limit applies to each receipt or invoice separately. The authorities are tightening their stance on cash transactions, introducing stricter fines for transactions over 500 euros.

The goal is to reduce the use of cash and increase controls in the market. This change aims to promote electronic payments and reduce tax evasion.

Businesses and individuals should be aware of these changes to avoid fines and ensure compliance with the new regulations.
