On the 12th of October, 2012 the Consiglio di Stato (Italian Supreme Court of Administration) expressed a positive opinion on the ministerial draft regulation containing the technical rules referring to e-invoicing to State administration departments.
The draft decree, now awaiting approval by the Italian Council of Ministers, imposes an exclusively electronic form of invoicing management on public administration suppliers.
It is particularly worthy of note that this invoicing procedure is seen as a single multiphased process in which an electronic form is obligatory at every stage from issuing to archiving.
Public administration departments will have to implement adequate working procedures for receiving e-invoices as they will no longer be able to accept invoices issued or transmitted in a paper form.
