Increase in stamp duty deferment threshold for e-invoices

The Italian tax authorities have introduced some changes relating to the stamp duty deferment threshold for e-invoices.

Semplificazioni Law Decree no. 73/2022 states that for e-invoices issued with effect from 1 January 2023, the threshold for deferment of payment of stamp duty for the first two quarters of the year will be raised from 250 Euros to 5,000 Euros. This will affect the timeframes within which stamp duty can be paid.

Provided the amount related to stamp duty on electronic invoices issued in the first quarter does not exceed 5,000 Euros, it can be paid within the deadline for the payment of the second quarter liability (i.e. 30 September).

If the amount relating to stamp duty on electronic invoices issued in the first and second quarters does not exceed 5,000 Euros, it may be paid by the deadline for payment of the third quarter liability (i.e. 30 November).
