After some small technical changes to the SDI rules and formatting early on, the Italian government decided to enhance the SDI system by including more transactions and making the legal reporting Esterometro obsolete. This means that as of July 2022 all transactions, including foreign transactions, should be reported to SDI.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With their SDI system (Sistema di Interscambio), the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) have created a central platform dedicated to verifying and transmitting electronic invoices.<\/p><p>At the end of 2020, the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) released the new rules that came into force in July 2022. The changes were significant as SDI will replace the Italian legal reporting Esterometro. With the Esterometro report, Italian companies reported all foreign sales and purchases to the government. This implies that now not only domestic sales need to be reported to SDI, but also all foreign sales and purchases. Please notice that domestic purchases are excluded, because the vendor will already report this transaction as their sale to SDI.<\/p><p>What was already reported to SDI:<\/p><ul><li>Domestic customer invoices<\/li><\/ul><p>What was added in 2022:<\/p><ul><li>Foreign customer invoices<\/li><li>Foreign vendor invoices<\/li><\/ul><h2><strong>SDI changes: <\/strong><strong>what does it mean for the SDI process\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2><p>With their new SDI rules, the Italian Revenue Agency imposes the following additional technical specifications that need to be submitted to their SDI system as from July 2022:<\/p><ul><li>A change in the XML structure that needs to be submitted to the Italian SDI system<\/li><li>A change in the mapping (document types, &#8230;)<\/li><li>A change in the validation rules for submission<\/li><\/ul><p>This means that also your SAP system needs to be updated.

Many other countries worldwide are also failing to collect VAT and are closely watching the Italian experiences in order to impose their own mandatory e-invoicing regulations.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So far, the Italian e-invoicing regulations have not missed their purpose. By mid-March 2019, the Italian government already uncovered EUR 688 million in fraudulent credits. In the first half of 2019, the captured VAT was over EUR 160 billion based on a total amount of 890 million invoices.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although Italy has already made great progress in lowering their VAT gap since the introduction of the mandatory e-invoicing regulations, there is still great room for improvement. As such, we expect that in future some additional updates will come into effect based on some new learnings from the Italian Agenzia delle Entrate. Because of that, it makes sense to have a strategic partner who takes care of this, informs you on new updates and keeps your SAP system compliant with the latest version of the country-specific legal requirements. We recommend starting to make the necessary changes to your SAP system rather sooner than later.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>PIKON\u2019s Competence Center for Legal Requirements to make your SAP system compliant with country-specific regulations, such as with the Italian SDI rules<\/strong><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With our Competence Center for Legal Requirements, we are a strategic partner who ensures that your SAP system and business processes meet different country-specific legal requirements all over the world.
