- The Italian Revenue Agency clarified that VAT on prepaid fuel cards is applicable at the time of fuel purchase, not at the time of card recharge. Prepaid fuel cards are considered “multi-use” vouchers, meaning VAT is due only when the card is used to buy fuel, as the exact amount of fuel and its price are not known at the time of recharge. This clarification overrides previous guidance and affects invoicing practices. If invoices were mistakenly issued at recharge, they can be corrected with credit notes, unless the deadline has passed, in which case a refund process is available.
