Good morning I searched through the various discussions for an answer to this problem, but I didn't find anything concrete From July 1st, the obligation to issue e-invoices will also apply to FLAT-RATE TAXPAYERS (that's my case)To issue an electronic invoice to an ITALIAN PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL, it is mandatory to enter the "TAX CODE". With the paper version, you could "tolerate" as an alternative the EBAY order reference Unfortunately the tax code is not present in the shipping details, so for every single sale it is necessary to contact the buyer and request it. If everyone communicated it, let's say it wouldn't be a big problem, setting aside the time needed for this operation. Unfortunately, though, 70% of people do not reply or declare that they do not want to share it because it is a "sensitive datum" Ebay says it cannot force/do anything, but from my side, if an ITALIAN buyer does not give me their tax code, I cannot issue an electronic invoice and I am therefore forced to cancel the sale on Ebay: there is no alternative, otherwise it would be tax evasion without issuing an invoice Ebay suggested that I sign up for the "Ebay developers program" in order to add an API to the platform that would allow the tax code to be retrieved. I signed up but I can't make heads or tails of this platform So I am reaching out to all FLAT-RATE TAXPAYERS in my same situation (and there won't be few). How do you handle this problem? Thanks everyone..
