Barter trade: relevance for VAT purposes clarified by the Italian Revenue Agency

  • The Agenzia delle Entrate clarified that permuta (exchange) is relevant for VAT purposes when a subject exchanges goods or services with another subject.
  • Permuta occurs when a subject offsets the monetary consideration owed to them by another subject against the sale of goods or provision of services.
  • If the exchange occurs between two VAT-registered subjects, both transactions are subject to VAT.
  • If one of the parties is a private individual, only the transaction carried out by the VAT-registered subject is subject to VAT, while the private individual may be subject to other taxes.
