Italy – Extension of a Pilot for Pre-Filled VAT Returns

The Italian government announced the extension of a pilot program for the pre-filling VAT declarations, based on information from electronic invoice data. This covers the preparation of draft registers, summary statements, periodic liquidation communications (Lipe), and the annual VAT declaration.

Additionally, the Italian government will now list transaction data for businesses with less than 2,000 transactions per month on its online portal, up from a maximum of 1,000 transactions. Businesses with more than 2,000 transactions will be able to download details of transactions in machine readable format to complete their annual VAT return.
