- Companies incurring business expenses in Italy for the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games may recover Italian VAT under specific conditions.
- EU-based companies reclaim VAT electronically via their home country’s tax authority; only eligible business expenses qualify.
- Non-EU companies from reciprocity countries (e.g., UK, Switzerland) submit postal refund claims to the Italian Tax Office.
- Non-EU companies from non-reciprocity countries (e.g., US, China) must appoint a fiscal representative, register for VAT, and comply with Italian VAT procedures.
- Refunds over €30,000 require a bank guarantee unless certified by a registered accountant; future expansion of reciprocity agreements is possible but not guaranteed.
