- The annual VAT credit must be recalculated based on actual payments made in 2025 if any periodic VAT payments were missed.
- Missed periodic VAT payments are usually detected by the tax authorities through comparison of submitted VAT communications (Lipe).
- These violations can be regularized through voluntary disclosure (ravvedimento operoso) by paying the owed tax, interest, and reduced penalties.
- The 2026 VAT return instructions specify how to report the total VAT due, payments made, amounts paid after irregularity notices, and amounts paid after payment notices for 2025.
- The highest amount between total VAT due and the sum of all payments (including those after notices) must be reported in the relevant field.
