New FatturaPA Specifications Introduced

From 1 October 2022, a new version of FatturaPA technical specifications ā€“ version 1.7.1 ā€“ will be available for use.

What has changed?

Version 1.7.1 contains several technical changes. These mainly concern e-invoicing between private businesses/individuals and do not affect public organisations.

Some of the more notable changes includeā€¦

  • The introduction of a new document type TD28 (ā€œtipo documentoā€) relating to purchases from San Marino
  • New validation criteria for specific errors and document types (e.g. error 00472 for TD27 messages and error 00475 for TD28 messages)
  • A new validation relating to error 00476 (either customer or supplier, or both, must have ā€œITā€ in the fields for ā€œCountry of tax identification number of supplier and relevant buyerā€ ā€“ otherwise the invoice will be rejected by Sistema di Interscambio)
  • New coding concerning tax information on payments made via an F24 form
  • New descriptions for the following codes:
    • 00401 (error)
    • 00430 (error)
    • 00473 (error)
    • 00475 (error)
    • Natura N7

Those wanting to explore the new specifications in full can do so on the Italian website ā€œAgenzia delle Entrateā€.

Why have the changes been introduced?

According to the Italian government, the specifications have been introduced with ā€œthe aim of optimising the electronic invoicing process, as well as ensuring an ever higher data qualityā€.

The full explanation of the reasons for the update (in Italian) can be found in the document ā€œFatture elettroniche ā€“ Elenco aggiornamenti delle specifiche tecnicheā€.

What does this mean for you?

For private businesses operating in Italy, it will be necessary to use the new specifications from 1 October 2022. In particular, businesses must be wary of the updates concerning the Natura N7 and payments via an F24 form.

For businesses using an EDI as a Service solution, many of the updates ā€“ such as those relating to validations ā€“ will be handled by your provider.
