For limited number of taxpayers, pre-completed VAT returns launch based on SdI e-invoicing
The Italian Revenue Agency will offer the option of pre-filled VAT returns from this Friday for certain taxpayers. These are based on 2022 transaction data submitted via the Italian SdI e-invoicing regime. In this first wave, this is only on offer for resident taxpayers using the cash regime and filing quarterly.
European shift to pre-completed VAT filings
Italy is joining the new Greek pre-filled VAT return drive which was also launched in 2023, based on Greek myDATA e-ledgers.
EU VAT in the Digital Age reforms include a channel for harmonised Digital Reporting Requirements (DRR) This grew from the 2020 Tax Action Plan proposals for a fairer and more efficient EU tax regime.
Such measures will support the creation of draft pre-filled invoice for member states who chose to follow the option to impose digital / e-invoicing on domestic transactions.
