In recent years, Italy has embarked on a significant journey to digitize its tax processes, with the goal of simplifying, securing, and making data transmission to the Agenzia delle Entrate (Italian Tax Authority) more transparent. Following the introduction of electronic invoicing, the digitization process has now extended to the management and submission of corrispettivi— the data related to sales made to end customers.

Moving towards cloud-based fiscalization

Today, most merchants rely on physical fiscal devices known as Registratori Telematici (RT). However, Italian regulations have opened the door to software-based solutions, allowing these physical devices to be replaced or supplemented by fully cloud-based systems. These new solutions offer greater flexibility and are easier to integrate with PoS and business management software.

With the publication of the Technical Specifications on March 7, 2025, the Agenzia delle Entrate has taken the final formal step toward certified cloud fiscalization. These definitive technical rules provide clear guidance for all providers looking to bring compliant software-based solutions to the Italian market.

At fiskaly, we continue to advance with determination in the development of our SIGN IT solution, carrying out all the necessary activities to complete the certification process. This will allow us to offer the market a solution that enables merchants to transmit receipts entirely digitally, eliminating the need for physical hardware components and providing a true alternative to traditional fiscal devices.

The journey toward cloud-based fiscalization requires dedicated development, validation, and verification work, carried out in close collaboration with the certification body and in full compliance with the specifications set by the Agenzia delle Entrate.

fiskaly officially starts the certification process

We are pleased to announce that fiskaly has officially started the certification process for SIGN IT, our cloud-based API solution for software-based receipt transmission in Italy.

After the success of our digital fiscalization solutions in Germany, Austria, and Spain, we are now aiming to bring modern, secure, and fully cloud-based technology to the Italian market, perfectly aligned with regulatory developments.

How the certification process works

To be legally used in Italy, software-based solutions must be certified by a recognized certification body. This process ensures that the solution meets all technical and regulatory requirements established by Italian legislation.

Certification activities verify that the solution complies with all technical and functional specifications defined by current regulations. Only a positive certification outcome allows the solution to be officially approved and marketed in Italy. That’s why fiskaly has been pioneer in starting the certification of our SIGN IT solution.

The benefits of fiskaly’s SIGN IT software solution

SIGN IT is revolutionizing the PoS: the transition to the cloud offers a true alternative to traditional fiscal devices, enabling fully software-based receipt transmission. This shift unlocks numerous benefits:

• No hardware management: no need to purchase or maintain physical fiscal devices. 
• Centralized and automatic updates: always compliant with regulatory changes without manual interventions.
• Enhanced control and data visibility: real-time access to fiscal data and transmissions.
• Guaranteed compliance: full adherence to the technical and regulatory requirements set by Italian law.

The future of fiscalization in Italy is in the cloud

With the starting of the certification process, fiskaly reaffirms its commitment to supporting the digital transformation of fiscal processes in Italy, offering solutions that anticipates the future, like we already did in other markets like Germany and Spain. 

For companies, moving fiscalization to the cloud is not just a technological evolution — it’s a strategic advantage. Cloud-based solutions provide unmatched scalability, allowing businesses to expand without being limited by hardware infrastructure. They offer real-time updates and compliance, eliminating the need for manual interventions on each device. Additionally, they enable centralized management of fiscal data, giving merchants and software providers full visibility, security, and control over their operations from anywhere. This shift reduces maintenance costs, increases operational flexibility, and accelerates time-to-market for software vendors and integrators. With fiskaly’s cloud-native approach, the fiscalization process becomes smarter, faster, and more efficient, paving the way for the next generation of digital tax compliance in Italy.
