Q: How a company registered in a EU country can obtain a VAT number? Which is the on-line procedure?
A: In order to obtain a VAT identification number it is necessary to
complete and submit a Declaration of commencement of activity. The
Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) will then issue a VAT
number.
