Questions about invoicing in Italy?

Is e-invoicing required in Italy?

Yes, since January 1, 2019, all VAT-registered businesses and entrepreneurs in Italy must issue e-invoices for every transaction through the Sistema di Interscambio (SdI) platform. This requirement applies to transactions with public administrations (B2G), other businesses (B2B), and private individuals (B2C). As of July 2022, the mandate also includes cross-border transactions, meaning that italian companies must register invoices for foreign clients with SdI.

What is FatturaPA?

FatturaPA is the standard electronic invoice format required for all B2B, B2C, and B2G transactions in Italy. It's an XML-based format that contains structured data about the invoice, including seller and buyer information, invoice details, and tax information

If sell online, do I need to comply with FatturaPA?

In general, all VAT-registered businesses in Italy must issue FatturaPA invoices through the SDI system for every sale. However, there are exceptions.

For example, under Resolution no. 274/E/2009, B2C sales in direct and indirect e-commerce may not require an invoice unless the customer specifically requests one. This exemption applies to certain low-value sales in e-commerce, but the specific rules may vary depending on the transaction.

Do I need to register with the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI) to use Invopop’s API?

No, you don't need to register directly with SDI. Our API handles all interactions with the SDI platform on your behalf, simplifying the process for you

Can Invopop’s API handle both domestic and cross-border invoices?

Yes, our API supports both domestic Italian invoices and cross-border transactions. Since July 2022, all cross-border transactions must also be reported through the SDI in the FatturaPA format, which our API handles seamlessly.

How quickly are invoices processed and sent to recipients?

Our API submits invoices to the SDI in real-time. The SDI typically processes and forwards invoices to recipients within minutes. You'll receive confirmation of successful transmission and any potential errors promptly
