- In Italy, the use of eInvoices became mandatory for public entities in 2015, based on various legal instruments including laws, decrees, circulars, and provisions.
- The state offers the Sistema di Interscambio system for eInvoicing processing, which checks eInvoices before forwarding them to public entities.
- Economic operators can submit eInvoices through various methods, each with specific requirements.
- The Sistema di Interscambio works as an eDelivery service, transmitting eInvoices to addressed administrations.
- Public administrations can choose how they receive invoices from the Sistema di Interscambio.
- Once received, contracting authorities process eInvoices through an automation and integration process and archive them for ten years.
- The eInvoicing system is also implemented at sub-central level contracting authorities. Italy has also transposed the European Standard on eInvoicing.
