Good to know
- Domestic invoices must be issued as XML e-invoices (FatturaPA) through the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI) — this applies to B2B and B2C and, since 2024, to flat-rate (forfettario) taxpayers too. A PDF alone is only a courtesy copy.
- Flat-rate scheme (regime forfettario): available up to €85,000 annual revenue; invoices carry no VAT and must cite the relevant legal provision.
How it’s calculated
VAT is charged as a percentage of the net (pre-tax) price. To add it, multiply the net amount by the rate; to find the net amount inside a tax-inclusive price, divide the gross amount by 1 plus the rate.
A common mistake is to remove VAT by subtracting the rate from the gross price (e.g. 119 − 19% = 96.39). That is wrong — the correct net amount is 119 ÷ 1.19 = 100.
Gross = Net × (1 + rate ÷ 100)VAT = Net × rate ÷ 100Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100)
