- Non-EU businesses registered for VAT in Italy must provide a €50,000 bank guarantee to maintain or obtain VIES registration.
- The guarantee must be valid for at least three years and applies to all non-EU businesses operating in Italy through a fiscal representative.
- The compliance deadline has passed, and enforcement is now mandatory following a 60-day grace period.
- Failure to comply may result in removal from VIES, loss of VAT-exempt intra-EU transactions, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
- Affected businesses should urgently review their VAT status and secure the required bank guarantee to avoid disruptions.
