Challenges in Accounting for Travel Agencies under Special VAT Regime: Reverse Charge and Base Method

  • Travel agencies using the special regime under art. 74-ter of DPR 633/72 may face difficulties in managing purchases subject to reverse charge
  • Services related to structures in Italy or air transport services may be subject to reverse charge if the provider is a non-resident
  • Agencies may receive invoices without VAT and must pay the tax through reverse charge
  • The debtor of the tax is the client, who must integrate the invoice with the tax amount and rate, or issue a self-invoice in case of non-EU suppliers
  • The reverse charge mechanism is financially neutral for subjects without deduction limits
  • Travel agencies determine VAT on resale of packages or tourist services using the “base to base” method
  • The “base to base” method requires distinguishing operations subject to it from others.
