By carrying out ”direct” non-VAT taxable export sales to non-EU Distributors, the company could acquire the status of habitual exporter and benefit from the facilitated regime provided for by art. 8, paragraph 1, lett. c) of the VAT decree, which allows those who carry out “international” transactions to purchase or import goods and services without applying VAT, within a specific annual limit (so-called ceiling).
