- An EU-based taxpayer identified for VAT in Italy can access VAT refunds under art. 38-bis2 DPR 633/72 by opting for separate accounting (art. 36 DPR 633/72).
- This allows distinction between transactions linked to the Italian VAT number and those linked to the foreign identifier.
- The Italian Revenue Agency confirmed this in response to a Spanish company owning and renting out two Italian properties (one instrumental, one residential).
- The company can fulfill VAT obligations for residential rentals via the Italian VAT number and still access the VAT refund procedure for the instrumental property by separating activities.
