Italy VAT Bond Requirements - How can Expandly help?

Non-EU businesses (excluding UK, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein)  registering for VAT in Italy must now secure a €50,000 bond to combat VAT fraud, ensure financial accountability, and protect VIES integrity. This applies to businesses engaging in intra-EU transactions via a fiscal representative. Existing VIES-registered companies must comply by June 13, 2025, or risk deregistration.
