e-invoicing in Italy

Italy has one of Europe’s most advanced e-invoicing systems. B2G e-invoicing has been mandatory since 2015, and B2B/B2C e-invoicing became mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses in January 2019. All domestic invoices — including cross-border (since July 2022) — must flow through the SDI (Sistema di Interscambio), Italy’s centralised clearance platform managed by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).

Italy company account registration

When registering a new Italian company via the API, the fiscal code or VAT number (Partita IVA / P.IVA) must be used as the company identifier. At the moment, company registration requires the vendor to have KYC approval from Maventa. Contact Maventa support to get started.

Identifier Description Format Validation
Codice Fiscale Italian fiscal code XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Structural validation
Partita IVA Italian VAT identifier IT12345678901 Structural validation via VIES

Sending in Italy

All domestic invoices must be sent through Maventa to SDI for validation and forwarding. SDI acts as a clearance hub: invoices are validated before delivery to recipients.

Supported delivery channels in Italy

For B2B and B2G, invoices are routed through Maventa to SDI, which handles validation and delivery to the recipient. Peppol is available for cross-border and international transactions.

For B2C, SDI handles delivery to consumers as well.

Cross-border invoices have been required to flow through SDI since July 2022.

Receiving in Italy

Receiving in Italy is handled via SDI. Peppol is available for cross-border transactions.
