Italy Mandates Financial Guarantee for Non-EU Businesses in VIES Database

Italy's tax authority, the Italian Revenue Agency, has implemented a new rule for non-EU businesses. They must provide a financial guarantee for VAT registration and listing in the VIES database. This change aims to ensure compliance with Italy's specific VAT regulations. Businesses have until 13 June 2025 to comply, or risk exclusion from the VIES system.

The guarantee, set at a minimum of €50,000, can be provided through security deposits, bank guarantees, or insurance surety bonds. Non-EU businesses conducting intra-community transactions within the EU are mandated to comply. Failure to do so will result in exclusion from the VIES database.

Seeking expert assistance can help ensure smooth compliance with Italy's VAT regulations.
