  • Important change to VAT regime for personnel secondment and lending services introduced with DL 131/2024.
  • New rules align Italian law with EU Court of Justice guidance from case C-94/19.
  • From January 1, 2025, personnel secondments with cost reimbursement will be subject to VAT.
  • Previous rule excluded VAT if only personnel costs were reimbursed.
  • New regulation applies VAT to secondments with a direct link between service and payment.
  • Rules apply to agreements made or renewed from January 1, 2025.
  • VAT base includes total reimbursement amount for each seconded worker.
  • Economic impact expected for entities with partial or total VAT non-deductibility.
  • Public entities purchasing services for non-commercial activities will face higher costs.
  • VAT applicability depends on the nature of the service provider, not the buyer.
