FRCS TaxCore VMS System
FRCS TaxCore VMS Setup Guide
1. Overview
FRCS TaxCore is the digital tax reporting platform used by FRCS. Approved POS/ERP systems integrate with the VSDC (Virtual Sales Data Controller) to submit VAT transaction data electronically for compliance.
- Real-time or near real-time sales submission
- Digital invoice signing via VSDC
- Compliance with FRCS VMS requirements
Note that once TaxCore is configured, upon operation start, the POS and V-SDC are mutually authenticated.
2. Communication Protocol
While the official documentation states:
- V-SDC communication uses HTTPS as per the Technical Instructions for EFD Suppliers.
- E-SDC communication uses HTTP as per the Technical Instructions for EFD Suppliers.
In practice, XPOS always communicates with VSDC over HTTPS. If a connection attempt is made via HTTP, the system automatically redirects and handles it securely over HTTPS.
