Highlight
Italy is the first country in Europe that has implemented fiscalization requirements. They use hardware fiscalizaton with two types of devices: RT printer and RT server. The country has used the euro (€) as its official currency since January 1, 1999.
Italy
Fiscalization regulations in Italy have been implemented to prevent data manipulation and to ensure the integrity, authenticity, and completeness of transactional data. The use of certified RT fiscal devices—either an RT printer or an RT server—is mandatory. These devices enable secure, direct communication between the retailer’s system and the Tax Authority’s server. As of 2025, new regulations permit the use of software-based solutions as an alternative to traditional RT fiscal devices. This ongoing transition introduces an entirely new model of fiscalization within the Italian market.
Type of fiscalization: Hardware
* The software solution instead of RT devices is introduced as a possibility, and this process is currently in progress.
