🧾 QR CODE
Under Order No. 412/2020.XXII, as of January 2022 invoices and other fiscally relevant documents must include the QR Code.
⚠️ As this is a legal requirement, the code cannot be removed from documents.
1What is the QR Code?
The QR Code is a type of barcode, in this case a two-dimensional code that can be scanned with a smartphone to access a URL. In the case of invoices, the code communicates the invoice to the e-fatura portal.
Once generated, the QR Code is shown on the PDF and on the document's web page.
2What does the QR Code contain?
The QR Code contains a code that aggregates the information in the document (VAT, Tax ID, etc.). Its purpose is to fight fraud and tax evasion, as well as to simplify the relationship between taxpayers and the Tax Authority.
This is a legal requirement and is therefore already active on your account.
⚠️ The QR Code shown on invoices only allows registering invoices in the e-Fatura portal app. If you use a QR Code reader you won't receive any relevant information or be redirected to any site. The QR Code on invoices is only meant for your customers to register invoices directly in the e-Fatura app, in case they aren't automatically shown on the customer's portal.
