Electronic B2B invoicing in Italy: The Solution with efsta

Mandatory Electronic Invoicing in Italy: Requirements and Compliance Since 2019

In Italy, electronic invoicing (B2B e-invoicing) via the SDI system (Sistema di Interscambio) has been mandatory for all business transactions since January 2019. This regulation requires that all invoices are issued, transmitted and received in a structured data format to enable automatic and electronic processing in accordance with Italian regulations. In addition, companies must ensure that their eInvoices comply with the standards of Directive 2014/55/EU and that secure and traceable archiving is guaranteed.

Managing the Challenges of Electronic Invoicing in Italy

Structured Data Formats

Invoices must be issued in structured formats that are machine-readable, such as XML, UBL, and CII, to enable automatic and electronic processing.

Interoperability and Standards

Electronic invoices must be interoperable, meaning they should be exchangeable and processable across different systems and platforms without losing data integrity or readability.

Transmission via the SDI system

All e-invoices must be sent and received via the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI), which serves as the central platform for processing.

Invoice Management and Preservation

Companies are required to store electronic invoices securely and accessibly for the legally mandated period, adhering to regulations for document management.

Security Requirements

It is essential to ensure the authenticity of the origin and the integrity of the content of invoices throughout the invoicing process to protect data security and confidentiality.

Compliance with Directive 2014/55/EU

Invoices must comply with the standards of Directive 2014/55/EU to ensure the inclusion of all necessary data fields and interoperability.
