Italy’s e-invoicing and reporting mandates for the hospitality sector. Learn about current and upcoming regulations, along with partner solutions for streamlined compliance.
This is not a legally approved document. We are outlining what our customers do in Italy regarding statutory requirements. They may be utilizing Cloudbeds alongside other third-party services to comply with all requisites.
E-Invoicing
Current Mandates
Italy mandates that all invoices be digitally signed (via a certified provider) and uploaded to the Italian tax authorities, namely Agenzia delle Entrate. Properties are also required to legally archive said invoices for a certain number of years. This can be done for free by Casseto Fiscale through the government and/or through private providers that are certified for such services in Italy.

Fiscalisation Receipts
Current Mandates:
Italy requires that receipts given to customers be digitally recorded by the government. Once fiscalised, the receipt given to a customer (physical paper or digital image via text, email, etc.) must contain a government-recorded number. Specialized physical hardware (e.g., by EPSON) is often required to print these receipts; however, this can be done digitally without needing a fiscal printer.
Cloudbeds will connect directly to the EPSON printers and allow printing receipts with the printer (estimated availability in Q1 2025).

Statistical Reporting
Current Mandates:
Properties in Italy are required to report all guests who stay overnight to the Italian National Statistical Institute (ISTAT reports). The frequency for this overall is monthly; however, each Italian province defines its own way of collecting data. ROSS 1000 (report format) is the collection method in many but not all provinces.
