- Removal of VAT Numbers: The Italian tax authorities are removing VAT numbers of non-EU companies from the VIES due to non-compliance with new VAT guarantee requirements, with official notices being sent to affected businesses via their fiscal representatives.
- Consequences of Removal: Companies risk severe penalties, including administrative fines, criminal law actions, reputational damage, and restrictions on conducting intra-community supplies and acquisitions in Italy, which may lead to EU customers refusing to trade.
- New VAT Guarantee Requirements: Since April 15, 2025, non-EU businesses must provide a minimum €50,000 financial guarantee to trade in Italy, with the deadline for submission having passed on June 13, 2025; Global VAT Compliance is available to assist companies in meeting these requirements.
