- From 2025, the logistics sector in Italy is subject to the reverse charge mechanism to combat VAT evasion, as established by the 2025 Budget Law.
- The Italian Revenue Agency has introduced a new identification code “66” for entities jointly responsible for VAT in logistics, to be used in the F24 tax form.
- The reverse charge shifts VAT payment obligations from the supplier to the recipient, aiming to prevent fraud, especially in high-risk sectors.
- The EU directive allows member states to apply the reverse charge mechanism optionally until December 31, 2026, as a temporary anti-fraud measure.
- This system is intended as a temporary solution while awaiting a new, definitive EU VAT system where taxation occurs in the destination country.
