On October 23, 2018, Law Decree 119 (L.D.119/2018) in Italy introduced a change in Italian value-added tax (VAT) management. This change went into effect on July 1, 2019. Here is a summary of the change:
1) For the supply of goods and services, the invoice can be issued by the fifteenth day of the month after the month when the VAT point was triggered. Invoices that are issued and booked before the fifteenth day of the month after the month when the VAT point was triggered must be included in the VAT settlement of the previous month.
2) Invoices that are booked before the fifteenth day of the next month but have a reference to the previous VAT settlement should not interrupt the sequential posting. If invoices have a VAT point date in the previous month but an invoice date in the current month, they should be booked in chronological order with the invoices in the current month that have a reference that indicates that these invoices are related to the previous VAT settlement.

Thus, the system should allow the posting of the VAT register date in the previous month respect to the posting date, only if the document date is referred to the previous month and the posting date is booked before the fifteenth day of the month.
While the invoices posted after the fifteenth day of the month the system must check that the date of VAT register is included in the same month.

At the moment such control is not available and this can cause mistakes in VAT declaration.

Such control should be activated at taxbooksection level in order to decide which tax book section should maintain this check or not. Not all tax book sections require this control.

Many thanks
