Cause

In Italy it is required to include in Tax declarations (VAT Registers as well as in the  Spesometro/Esterometro) the VAT exempted invoices or partial exempted amounts in invoices, even if they are not relevant for VAT payment: the tax exempted invoices need  to be reported with the specific reason of exemption, that is the Tax Law article that is usually reported in tax code description.

In particular this is the case of VAT Registers, where the tax code descriptions are reported for each invoice items.

For Spesometro/Esterometro the assignment of proper Tax code Nature is based on the Tax Event.

Nature code reflects the category of tax exemption.

There are 7 categories recognized for tax exemptions, which are reflected in 7 different Nature codes:

 

N1 is for excluded Tax Art. 15

N2 is for Not subject to VAT

N3 is for Not taxable

N4 is for Exemption Tax Art. 10

N5 is for Ta special Regime

N6 is for Reverse Charge

N7 is for e-commerce, distant sales and MOSS Sales.

 

Spesometro was introduced as legal requirement in 2017, and many of the current tax events/tax codes were already created for Italy, with a logic that was not completely consistent with Spesometro requirements.

 

In order to do consistent Tax declarations, and considering that new tax events and tax codes have been created over time to better fit Italian legal requirements, in a effort of continuous improvement of the content, some tax codes have been deactivated starting 2019 in standard content, and the use of alternative tax codes is recommended.
