- In the first nine months of 2026, electronically reported taxable turnover rose 4.1%, adding €13.5 billion to reported taxable sales.
- Merchants transmitted 267.5 million more electronic receipts than in the same period of 2025, up 1.9%.
- VAT receipts increased to €120.7 billion for January-August 2026, with domestic VAT up 3.2%.
- Italy’s Court of Auditors said the higher figures cannot be fully attributed to the new linking rule, as inflation and consumption shifts may also have contributed.
