- Companies wanting to set up an Italian VAT Group from 2027 must opt in by 30 September 2026 using form AGI/1 through the group representative.
- VAT Group status treats financially, economically, and organizationally linked entities as one taxable person, making intra-group transactions irrelevant for VAT and simplifying administration.
- For the financial link, the required control relationship must exist at least since 1 July 2026 if the option takes effect on 1 January 2027.
- The option lasts three years and follows an “all in, all out” rule: all entities meeting the legal requirements must join the group, so defining the group perimeter correctly is crucial.
- EU case law confirms that being in a VAT group does not automatically extend exemption conditions to all members; the entity actually supplying the service must itself meet the exemption requirements.
