Electronic Invoice for Public Administration
What is FatturaPA?
FatturaPA is the Italian e-invoicing format, mandatory for all B2B and B2G transactions in Italy since 2019. All invoices must pass through the SDI (Sistema di Interscambio), the centralized platform of the Italian tax authority. Italy is a pioneer in Europe with this mandatory system.
