What is the best way to store e-invoices on SDI?

Italy’s SDI (or Sistema Di Interscambio), is now fully operational. The country will be able to use the e-invoicing exchange service for domestic and foreign transactions. All public companies were required to e-invoice by March 2015.

Electronic invoicing regulations, such as the SDI Italy, make transactions easier to understand. They also standardise transaction processes which lead to more economic activity. Local Italian companies can benefit from the invoicing digitization phase, which allows them to have better access to international markets via a standardised invoice system. Storecove and other access point service providers will have more opportunities thanks to the e-invoicing system.

It is required that SDI invoices be kept for a minimum of ten years according to Italian law. These files must be sufficiently secure to allow for a digital signature and remain valid after ten years. AgID must certify the invoice archive. This will assure your records’ security over time.

E-invoicing is possible with a variety of services. These services guarantee compliance with the Italian E-invoicing legislation. It provides a smooth process so the invoices reach customers easily through FatturaPA.

What penalties are there for not adhering to the SDI laws in Italy?

Businesses that fail to submit invoices through SDI may face severe penalties. These can include fines ranging from 90% up to 180% of the due TVA. When a business fails to submit invoices through SDI, it can be subject to a penalty of upto €2,000 per invoice quarterly. This penalty is applicable in cross-border communications. This penalty for non-declaration is somewhat more straightforward. The tax authorities offer some relief by allowing minor delays, due to the complexity of the tax system.

Italy is home to one of Europe’s largest gaps in VAT. Reports suggest that Italy accounts for approximately 23% of Europe’s VAT gaps.

This can be explained by several factors. First, citizens who are considered taxpayers don’t know the VAT taxation laws. They don’t know how to use e-invoicing. This allows them to easily fall into the trap of non-registered vendors and importers of goods or services who are taking away their payment system.

Ineffective governance, rampant invoicing fraud, inaccurate foreign exchange rates, poor workflow, inefficient reconciliation, inefficient reconciliation, and poor governance are the main culprits. E-invoicing is a way to prevent VAT fraud and provides more precise reporting.
