- The Italian Supreme Court ruled that a buyer/recipient of an irregular invoice only has to check its formal compliance, not the supplier’s tax classification of the transaction.
- Under Article 6(8) of Legislative Decree 471/1997, the recipient is not required to perform substantive tax investigations or act like the tax authority.
- The obligation to regularize does not cover legal or interpretive errors made by the supplier in applying VAT rules.
- Exceptions remain for reverse charge situations and VAT fraud cases, where different rules apply.
