- From January 1, 2026, it is mandatory to integrate telematic cash registers (RT) with electronic payment terminals (POS) for full interoperability of sales and payment data.
- The goal is to combat tax evasion by allowing the tax agency to automatically cross-check electronic payments with daily reported sales.
- The integration is logical and administrative, not physical, and must be formalized on the “Fatture e Corrispettivi” portal.
- The new rules are based on recent legislative changes and specify procedures, exclusions, and applicable sanctions for non-compliance.
- Detailed operational guidelines and clarifications are provided by the Italian Revenue Agency through official documents and FAQs.
