Timelines for Italy’s Special Measures Split Payment Regime

Italy intends to submit a report in September 2024 to the European Commission evaluating the effectiveness of the special measures concerning the split payment regime
Italy expects to submit a report to the European Commission addressing effectiveness of the split payments regime.
On 25 July 2023, the European Commission granted Italy a derogation until 30 June 2026. The derogation applies to Articles 206 and 226 of the VAT Directive with EU 2023/1552 on the special measure of the common system of value-added tax.
The extension of the special measures for the split payment regime was granted with one exception, to honor Italy’s commitment to gradually phasing out this special measure. From 1 July 2025, the scope will be restricted and exclude supplies of goods and services to companies listed on the stock exchange included in the FTSE MIB index.
The timeframe set by the Commission will allow the affected taxpayers to perform the necessary operational adjustments and the local authorities to evaluate possible alternative measures.
The split payment regime means that when VAT is invoiced by a supplier, the VAT amount must be paid by the buyer/recipient of the invoice to the tax authorities. This process enables the authorities to perform cross-checks and is part of the country’s program for combatting tax fraud and evasion.
It remains to be seen if the report will reopen for yet another extension of the timelines.

Electronic Invoicing Italy
Italy is a pioneer in European e-invoicing.
In 2014 Italy adopted Business-to-Government (B2G) e-invoicing. Due to the positive results, the government expanded the model (known as Esterometro) to Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C). Electronic invoicing has been mandatory for all domestic Italian invoices since January 2019.

At the end of April 2022, a Law decree has extended the obligation of e-invoicing also to the so-called minor taxpayers in a gradual rollout from July 2022
Electronic invoicing has to be handled by a certified platform connected to the Tax Authority platform Sistema di Interscambio (SDI). The electronic invoicing format in Italy is the Fattura-PA.

For cross-border transactions, a new mandate has been introduced from 01 July 2022. The mandate will require the reporting of electronic invoice data through the SDI. It will also require the use of the Fattura-PA format instead of the Esterometro.

Replacing Esterometro with the Fattura-PA system will make the SDI the central system for invoicing and reporting in Italy for both domestic and cross-border transactions.

The Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance is observing and consulting the evolution of the VAT in the Digital Age proposals.
