Italian VAT Returns and Intrastat Filings

Monthly or quarterly Italian VAT returns, Intrastat declarations, and credit-refund requests prepared by chartered accountants and filed under our authorization.

  • Monthly or quarterly VAT returns (LIPE, Dichiarazione IVA)
  • Intrastat declarations for intra-community trade
  • Esterometro reporting where applicable
  • VAT credit refund requests and offset management
  • Reconciliation against SDI electronic invoice flows

What we file

Italian VAT compliance is not a single annual document. It is a calendar of obligations spread across the year:

  • LIPE — quarterly communication of VAT settlements, due 60 days after each quarter.
  • Annual VAT return (Dichiarazione IVA) — full reconciliation of the year’s input and output VAT, due by 30 April of the following year.
  • Intrastat — monthly or quarterly declarations of intra-community supplies and acquisitions.
  • Refund requests — quarterly or annual, depending on your credit position.

Each filing has a specific format, a specific channel, and specific defenses if challenged. We handle all of them under one engagement.

How we work

You give us access to your invoice flows through the SDI portal we manage on your behalf. We reconcile the SDI feed against your marketplace transaction reports (Amazon, eBay, Shopify), build the period’s return, send you a one-page summary for review, and file once you sign off. If a refund is owed, we open the request and follow it through to payment — refunds in Italy can take 12–18 months without follow-up, weeks with it.

Who it's for

Foreign businesses with active Italian VAT numbers — particularly e-commerce sellers with high transaction volume across multiple marketplaces.

How we differ

Every return is reviewed by a chartered accountant before submission. No unsigned filings, no algorithmic-only output, no surprises in audits.
