- Late receipt of electronic invoices puts the right to VAT deduction at risk
- A recent case of late receipt of invoices is discussed, where a taxpayer did not receive invoices from suppliers due to a failure to upload their SDI code on the Fatture e Corrispettivi portal
- If a subject does not receive electronic purchase invoices from suppliers due to an error in communicating the recipient code on the Fatture e Corrispettivi portal, the date of receipt of the invoice is considered to be the date of viewing the invoice
- Failure to timely exercise this activity prevents the negligent subject from exercising the right to deduct VAT on “non-received” electronic invoices
- The Agency denies any possibility of recovering the tax by relying on the “arbitrary” behavior of the taxpayer
- The conditions for exercising the right to VAT deduction are outlined in Article 19 of DPR n. 633/72
- The Directive n. 2006/112/CE states that the right to deduction arises when the deductible tax becomes due, i.e., when the legal conditions necessary for the tax authority to do so are met.
