- A non-resident VAT taxpayer can request an Italian VAT refund via the web procedure (art. 38-bis2 DPR 633/72) if they carry out two distinct activities in Italy, provided these are kept separate in accounting (art. 36 DPR 633/72).
- The case involves a Spanish company renting out both an industrial property (subject to VAT) and a residential property (exempt from VAT) in Italy.
- For the industrial property, VAT cannot be offset due to reverse charge obligations handled by Italian lessees.
- For the residential property, the company must directly identify for VAT and issue invoices to private consumers, with no reverse charge applicable.
- The Italian Revenue Agency confirms that, with proper separation of activities, the company can still claim a VAT refund for the industrial property, even if it also carries out VAT-exempt activities.
