VAT Exemption Regime for Defense Products under EU SAFE Regulation and National Implementation

  • The EU Regulation 1106/2025 introduces a VAT exemption regime for defense products supplied under contracts supported by the SAFE instrument.
  • The exemption applies to domestic supplies, intra-EU acquisitions, and imports of defense-related products.
  • The right to deduct input VAT is maintained for these operations.
  • At the national level, this regime is assimilated to the non-taxable VAT regime under Italian law (DPR 633/72, art. 72).
  • Certification is required to prove the conditions for VAT exemption for transactions involving armed forces and related organizations.
