Italy
Tax, VAT and marketplace compliance for businesses selling in Italy.
Why choose Italy?
Italy has been living the Digital VAT Age for years. ViDA is bringing Europe closer to a model that Italy already knows well.
ViDA — VAT in the Digital Age, the EU reform adopted in March 2025 — is moving every Member State toward structured e-invoicing, real-time digital reporting and a Single VAT Registration for cross-border trade. Italy reached that destination long ago: mandatory e-invoicing through the Sistema di Interscambio and continuous reporting have been everyday practice here for years. By 2027 your business can already operate under the European OSS regime, and from July 2028 the EU shifts into full single-registration mode — a transition that Italian-registered sellers are positioned to absorb with minimal friction, while competitors elsewhere are still adapting.
Why Italy's VIES Guarantee matters in the Digital VAT Age
Since April 2025 the Agenzia delle Entrate requires non-EU operators registering through a fiscal representative to post a €50,000 fideiussione of at least 36 months to enter and remain in VIES. Far from a barrier, it is what makes Italy a higher-trust gateway for Amazon sellers and international brands:
- Enhanced verification of non-EU traders entering the EU market
- Strong AML and KYC procedures applied at the point of registration
- A financial guarantee that protects the integrity of the tax system
- Greater confidence for marketplaces and tax authorities alike
- Direct alignment with the trust and transparency objectives of ViDA
The VIES guarantee is more than a compliance requirement. It is a trust mechanism for the Digital VAT Age.
Italy is not just another VAT registration. It is a strategic gateway to Europe in the Digital VAT Age — and we manage the full journey for you, from the VIES guarantee to your OSS filings.
