Italian Fiscal Representative Services
If your business is established outside of Italy but trades within the Italian market — selling goods, offering services, or importing — the Italian tax authorities may require you to appoint a Fiscal Representative (Rappresentante Fiscale).
We provide end-to-end fiscal representation in Italy, keeping your company compliant with all VAT and tax obligations.
What is a Fiscal Representative in Italy?
A Fiscal Representative is a person or entity based in Italy who acts on behalf of a foreign company for VAT and tax-related matters. Appointing a fiscal representative is mandatory for non-EU businesses engaging in taxable transactions in Italy.
Our team acts as your authorized intermediary, liaising with the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate), filing VAT returns, and managing local tax compliance.
For EU-based companies, a direct VAT registration is usually sufficient and a fiscal representative is not required.
