- Italy has updated VAT Group rules effective November 5, 2025, clarifying when bank guarantees are required for input VAT credits.
- Companies in a VAT Group can be exempt from providing a bank guarantee on input VAT credits over €30,000 if they have operated for at least two years.
- Retroactive exemption is possible by filing a supplementary VAT return with compliance certification, provided no VAT audits are ongoing.
- Penalties for late compliance are introduced, either as fixed or proportional amounts.
- The changes are especially relevant for groups with foreign parents or cross-border structures seeking to optimize VAT cash flow.
