The Head of Revenue Administration (HRA) in Turkey imposes the obligation to use new generation payment
recording devices (NG PRDs) at fuel stations. The pump and the cash register were separate units in old payment systems, and
communication was provided via an interface. However, there are some security vulnerabilities in these systems due to the
interface being separate from the cash register. In addition, it is known that due to the high fuel tax rates, significant losses occur
due to tax evasion. Although the use of NG PRD has been made compulsory, no product in the market complies with the current
legislation. Therefore, there is a need for these products to be developed for secure data communication in fuel pump cash
registers, prevention of tax evasion, and monitoring of the informal economy in the fuel sector. This study aims to design and
manufacture prototypes of NG PRDs and components for fuel stations in accordance with the technical guide of the HRA
legislation. The main feature sought for NG PRDs is to ensure the continuity of communication between the pump and the cash
register.
