- Italy reduced the VAT rate on art, collectibles, and antiques to 5% effective July 1, 2025.
- The reform abolishes the previous 10% reduced rate and applies the new 5% rate to most sales, imports, and intra-EU acquisitions of eligible art items.
- The 5% VAT rate cannot be combined with the margin scheme; dealers must choose between the two regimes.
- The reform aligns Italian VAT rules with EU policy and provides new opportunities and regulatory impacts for international art market operators.
