IT-R-004

Validation message

BT-38 (Seller post code) - Italian suppliers MUST provide the postal address post code - I fornitori italiani devono indicare il CAP di residenza.

Explanation

For an Italian seller, PEPPOL requires the postcode (CAP) in its address. The seller counts as Italian when its VAT ID starts with IT; if it has none, its tax representative's VAT ID decides, and if that is missing too, an address in Italy.

How to fix

Ask the seller for a corrected invoice with the postcode in its address.

This field is required by §14 Abs. 4 Nr. 1 UStG. A missing or incorrect value may affect input VAT deduction (Vorsteuerabzug) for the recipient.
