Optional VAT Regime in Logistics: Compatibility with Special VAT Rules for Road Hauliers and Reverse Charge

• A new optional VAT regime allows the client to pay VAT for logistics, transport, and goods handling services under contract or subcontract (Law 207/2024).
• The option is exercised by sending a specific communication to the Revenue Agency, referencing each contract.
• The service provider remains jointly liable for VAT and must issue an invoice with a specific annotation; the client pays VAT via F24 form using code “6045” by the 16th of the following month, without horizontal compensation.
• The optional regime is compatible with the special VAT regime for road hauliers (art. 74, DPR 633/72), allowing quarterly summary invoices and settlements.
• The compatibility of this new regime with the reverse charge mechanism must be evaluated, and it applies to companies identified by certain ATECO codes in section H.
