- Italy launched a new digital platform for VAT compliance monitoring on January 1, 2026, using automated checks and predictive tools.
- The system cross-references data from electronic invoices, telematic fees, VAT declarations, the Tax Registry, customs, and the Health Card System.
- Each VAT number receives a reliability index based on indicators like discrepancies in VAT paid, unusual VAT credit use, and mismatched business operations.
- Instead of automatic penalties, the system sends alerts and gives taxpayers 30 days to clarify or correct issues, with reduced penalties for timely regularization.
- The approach emphasizes prevention and real-time monitoring, encouraging proactive VAT compliance.
