- Italy introduced a new VAT regulation on 15 April 2025 for non-EU businesses.
- Non-EU businesses must post a €50,000 financial guarantee to register for VAT in Italy.
- The guarantee can be in the form of government-backed securities, bank guarantees, or insurance surety bonds.
- The deadline for existing VIES-registered non-EU companies was 13 June 2025.
- Failure to comply results in automatic delisting from the VIES database.
- Delisting affects the ability to zero-rate B2B sales, may cause customs issues, and could lead to EU customers refusing to work with the business.
- Immediate action is necessary to avoid trade disruptions within the EU.
- Global VAT Compliance offers assistance in meeting these new requirements.
