- Small businesses with annual EU turnover up to 100,000 euros and within Italy’s national threshold of 85,000 euros can opt for the cross-border VAT exemption.
- The regime applies to outgoing transactions in other EU countries and ends if thresholds are exceeded or if a business opts out, reverting to ordinary VAT rules.
- The regime aligns with Italy’s flat-rate VAT regime, sets compliance obligations for both Italian and nonresident entities, and introduces cooperation with EU tax authorities.
- Quarterly and preventive communications are mandatory to maintain exemption status; late or incomplete filings may result in administrative penalties.
- Re-entry into the regime after termination requires a quarantine period determined by EU countries.
