- Milan Tax Court Judgment No. 292/2026 held that revenues from direct online sales under consignment agreements are not subject to Italy’s 3% Digital Services Tax.
- The retailer used two models: a DST-taxable marketplace model earning commissions, and a consignment model where it sold goods as the principal seller.
- The court ruled the consignment model was not a multilateral digital interface because customers dealt only with the platform operator, not third-party vendors.
- Because the operator assumed the commercial risks and acted as seller of record, those transactions were treated as non-taxable direct sales.
- The Italian Revenue Agency was ordered to refund EUR 1,041,464.72 in DST paid for 2020–2022.
