Create FatturaPA
Italy mandates FatturaPA through SDI for all B2B invoicing. Fill in the form and download the XML file SDI accepts.
How to fill this in
TD01 is the ordinary invoice. TD02 books an advance payment. TD04, a credit note, reduces an invoice already sent; TD05 is the debit note that adds to one. TD24 and TD25 are deferred invoices issued once for a whole delivery period. TD27 is self-consumption.
Typed once and kept on this device. The form opens empty next time; the My saved details button puts it back.
Two different numbers, and an invoice can carry both. The VAT ID is the one you file your VAT returns under. The company reg. number is your entry in the commercial register.
Your own tax regime, RF01 ordinary through RF19 flat-rate (forfettario). SDI requires exactly one, and the wrong one misstates how the VAT on this invoice is treated.
How SDI reaches your buyer: a 7-character code, or 0000000 together with their certified PEC address when they gave you one. Public administrations publish their code. One of the two is enough.
Optional. Italian businesses are identified by their VAT number, and the file is valid with that alone. The codice fiscale matters for individuals and sole traders, or whenever your customer hands you one; otherwise leave it empty.
Type quantity, unit price and VAT % and the totals work themselves out, one VAT line per rate.
When the VAT rate on a line is 0, Natura says why: N1 outside the scope, N4 exempt, N6 reverse charge, and so on. Without it a zero line is refused.
The account you want the money in. It is printed on the invoice and travels inside the file.
