Effects of Exiting the Flat Rate Scheme on VAT Deduction Adjustment

• The Italian tax agency has issued a circular examining the consequences of leaving the simplified tax regime.
• The circular also discusses how to adjust VAT deductions when leaving the regime.
• Leaving the simplified regime means that subsequent operations will be subject to VAT.
• However, it also allows the taxpayer to recover any VAT that was not deducted for unused goods and services.
• This situation is covered by Article 19-bis2, paragraph 3 of the Italian tax code.
• The article applies to changes in the tax regime for active operations or in the use of depreciable assets.
