Italy new - submit quarterly data: 'VAT invoices' and 'VAT calculations'

Quarterly informative report VAT invoices data

Starting from 1 January 2017 a new informative report of VAT data related to AP and AR invoices, including related credit and debit notes and customs bills, has to be filed by taxpayers on a quarterly basis (former Spesometro).
This new report should include the following data:
  • The parties involved in the transaction: VAT number, name, address, fiscal representative
  • Date and reference number of the invoices
  • Taxable basis, VAT rate and VAT amount
  • Type of transaction, reason of VAT exemption
  • For correction invoice the reference to the reported original invoice
The deadline for filing will be the last day of the second month following each calendar quarter (e.g., 31 May 2017 for the first quarter of 2017). Penalties apply in range from a minimum of € 2 to a maximum of € 1,000 per quarter will be imposed for any omission or incorrect filing of each invoice.

Quarterly VAT calculations data report

As of 1 January 2017, on a quarterly basis the figures for calculating the periodical VAT settlements - periodical VAT calculations as well as VAT calculations showing a VAT credit - have to be reported and submitted electronically. The deadline for filing will be the end of the second month following the each calender quarter (e.g., 31 May 2017 for the first quarter of 2017).

The tax authorities will perform a consistency check between the data reported and the VAT payments made. In the case of inconsistencies, penalties could apply from a minimum of € 500 to a maximum of € 2,000 for submitting an incomplete or inaccurate report.

We offer a new SAP add-on solution by which the quarterly informative report can be submitted timely via our integrated SAP solution in an automated fashion. We can provide support as well with implementing the right processes and controls of the quarterly VAT calculations.
