Italy Reverse VAT Calculator
Italy's 22% IVA is built into most retail prezzi. Divide by 1.22 for standard goods—or 1.10/1.04 when reduced IVA appears on scontrini and fatture.
Enter the total you paid (VAT included) and your rate.
Step 2 — Your breakdown
We reverse the tax using the standard formula:
Enter a total and tax rate to see your breakdown.
Twenty-two percent is standard on electronics and most services. Ten percent covers hospitality and some food; 4% applies to essential foodstuffs in defined cases.
Milan fashion and Rome hospitality receipts often mix rates—split lines before one divisor on the total.
Florence tourism operators unpacking tax from inclusive hotel and restaurant totals need 10% or 22% divisors matched to each scontrino line.
B2B e-invoices show IVA explicitly; consumer receipts may not. Marketplace payouts to Italian sellers need IVA backed out of gross EUR deposits.
Partita IVA holders reverse IVA on tax-inclusive Amazon.it settlements before LIPE reporting—per-order aliquota beats a flat 22% assumption on mixed baskets.
Split payment (scissione dei pagamenti) on public-sector B2B invoices moves IVA to the treasury directly—reverse math on your gross still isolates imponibile for margin analysis on the merchandise value.
E-invoicing through SDI means fattura XML shows aliquota per line. When only a lordo total appears on a consumer receipt, divide by 1.22, 1.10, or 1.04 per category before ledger posting.
Imponibile = Lordo ÷ (1 + aliquota/100).
Cross-border B2C sales into Italy from EU warehouses show Italian IVA when the platform collects at checkout—use the rate on that document, not the seller's home country divisor.
