VAT and business purchases in Italy and the European Union

If you are buying for an Italian company, provide the company name, VAT number, and the details required for invoicing. An Italian VAT number alone does not allow you to buy without VAT.

Ordinary supplies are normally subject to the 22% rate. If you believe your supply falls under a different treatment, contact us before ordering: we will check the documentation and the rate applicable to your specific case.

To request an intra-EU supply without Italian VAT being charged, send us your company details through the dedicated form. You need a VAT number valid for intra-EU transactions, matching customer details, and delivery of the goods to another Member State, plus the further requirements set for the transaction.

A foreign VAT number does not automatically exempt an order delivered in Italy. Every request is reviewed before confirming the purchase terms.

The form performs a preliminary check on the format of the number entered. This check does not certify that the business exists or that it is authorized for intra-EU transactions.

For the tax check we use the European Commission's VIES system as a reference and, when necessary, request additional documents.

In the form, use the same email you use, or will use, to log into your Litio Store account. This way we can match the request to the right customer.

You will receive the verification outcome and purchase instructions by email. Wait for our confirmation: submitting the form does not change prices, does not automatically enable the account, and does not apply exemptions at checkout. The supply terms must also be confirmed in relation to the order's destination.

The 10% rate does not apply indiscriminately to all products or to all customers who own a photovoltaic system. Its application depends on the nature of the supply, the intended use of the goods, and the documentation required.

If a product page offers the 10% VAT option, select it only after checking that you meet the requirements. If in doubt, send us the product references and describe the work before paying.

Private customers cannot use the procedure reserved for EU businesses. For distance sales to consumers, the applicable VAT may also depend on the destination country; check the order summary.

If your business is outside the EU, contact us so we can separately assess the feasibility of shipping, the documents, and the tax treatment. This page does not extend the countries served by the store and does not promise the absence of import duties or taxes.
