- The Italian Supreme Court (Cassazione) issued several similar rulings on June 20, 2025, regarding the place of establishment for legal entities for VAT purposes.
- According to art. 7 lett. d) of DPR 633/72, a VAT-subject established in Italy is one domiciled or resident in Italy, or a permanent establishment of a foreign entity.
- For legal entities, “domicile” is the legal seat, while “residence” is the place of effective management.
- The Court focused on the concept of “effective seat” (sede effettiva), especially in cases of presumed Italian tax residence (esterovestizione) under art. 73 of the TUIR.
- “Effective management” is defined as the continuous and coordinated making of strategic decisions for the company as a whole.
