Italy’s Mandatory e-Invoicing Derogation: EU Council’s Proposal for Extension

  • Proposal for Extension: The EU is considering extending Italy’s mandatory e-Invoicing to combat tax fraud and streamline compliance, enhancing the effectiveness of its VAT system.
  • Impact Since 2018: Italy’s e-Invoicing, implemented via the Sistema di Interscambio (SdI), has significantly increased VAT revenue and fraud detection, reducing administrative burdens for businesses.
  • Revenue and Fraud Reduction: Between 2019 and 2022, VAT revenue rose by €1.7 to €2 billion, and fraud detection increased from €1 billion to €9 billion, highlighting the system’s success.
  • Request for Extension: Italy seeks to extend the e-Invoicing mandate until December 2025 or until the EU’s ViDA proposal, aiming for an EU-wide digital VAT system, is enacted.
  • EU Alignment and Benefits: Extending the mandate supports EU goals to modernize tax systems and maintain progress in VAT collection and fraud prevention, benefiting businesses with reduced administrative work.
