- The 2026 reform aligns Italian VAT rules on barter transactions with the EU directive (2006/112/CE).
- The criteria for determining the VAT taxable base in barter operations have changed.
- Previously, the taxable base was determined by the “normal value” of goods or services exchanged.
- “Normal value” refers to the market price under free competition, calculated at the same commercial stage, time, and place.
- The reform modifies Article 13, paragraph 2, letter d) of D.P.R. 633/1972.
