Receipt Compliance
SIGN IT API in its Lite version can be used by any VAT holder in Italy, that carry out B2C transactions, to issue a sales receipt, for carrying out a return operation and/or for the cancellation of previously issued receipts, when applicable.
The deadline by which the data of the transactions must be recorded is the moment of completion or execution of the operation, coinciding with the payment or delivery of the goods.
As an automated expeditor of the AdE’s Web Procedure the “Online Commerical Document”, SIGN IT Lite transmits each transaction in real-time, at the time of the sale, according to which each document will get assigned its own individual, unique and consecutive Progressive Number. At this point, the Revenue Agency obtains the consolidated information of the transaction carried out.
The Progressive Number provided by the revenue agency is located in the compliance section of the successful response that follows the creation of a record.
Obligation to issue receipts
Issuing a fiscal receipt in Italy is seamlessly managed through our SIGN IT Lite API, with the required fiscal document or receipt being generated directly within the Revenue Agency's Web Portal via SIGN IT Lite and automatically recorded in their system.
The document provided to the customer at the time of purchase, whether in paper or digital form, will carry only commercial value, not fiscal value. A copy of the document or receipt, in either format, is only required for warranty or exchange purposes or if specifically requested by the customer. These documents must be provided to the customer upon request, no later than at the time of completion of the transaction.
Testing is not supported in the LIVE environment, as all data is transmitted directly to the authorities.
