- Italy launched a new digital platform for real-time VAT compliance monitoring starting January 1, 2026.
- The system cross-references multiple data sources, including invoices, VAT declarations, and customs flows, to detect irregularities.
- Each VAT number receives a reliability index based on risk indicators like discrepancies in VAT paid and unusual credit use.
- Instead of immediate penalties, the system alerts taxpayers, who have 30 days to resolve issues and can benefit from reduced penalties if they comply.
- The approach emphasizes prevention and encourages proactive VAT management by businesses and professionals.
