BT-32 (Seller tax registration identifier) - For Italian suppliers BT-32 minimum length 11 and maximum length shall be 16. Per i fornitori italiani il BT-32 deve avere una lunghezza tra 11 e 16 caratteri

Explanation

When an Italian seller states a tax registration number other than its VAT ID, such as the codice fiscale, it must be 11 to 16 characters long and contain only capital letters and digits, no spaces or other characters.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with its codice fiscale or partita IVA without spaces or other characters.

This field is required by §14 Abs. 4 Nr. 2 UStG. A missing or incorrect value may affect input VAT deduction (Vorsteuerabzug) for the recipient.
