Receipt Compliance
The SIGN IT API in its Lite version can be used by any VAT holder in Italy carrying out B2C transactions to issue a sales receipt, perform a return operation, and/or cancel previously issued receipts, where applicable.
The deadline for recording transaction data is the moment of completion or execution of the operation, which coincides with the payment or delivery of the goods.
As an automated expeditor of the AdE’s web procedure, the “Online Commercial Document”, SIGN IT Lite transmits each transaction in real-time at the time of the sale. Each document is assigned its own unique, consecutive Progressive Number. At this point, the Revenue Agency receives the consolidated information about the completed transaction.
The Progressive Number provided by the Revenue Agency can be found in the compliance section of the successful response following the creation of a record.
Obligation to issue receipts
Issuing a fiscal receipt in Italy is seamlessly managed through our SIGN IT Lite API. The required fiscal document or receipt is 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, holds only commercial value and 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 transaction completion.
Testing is not supported in the LIVE environment, as all data is transmitted directly to the authorities.
