The Italian government has introduced the Decreto Omnibus (Legislative Decree 148/2026), a series of fiscal adjustments and business protections. 

A central component of the decree is the establishment of a 5% tolerance threshold for discrepancies between electronic POS payments and digital fiscal receipts. This measure is intended to safeguard merchants, particularly in the restaurant and bar sectors, from administrative penalties and business license suspensions caused by unintentional clerical errors or mismatches during high-traffic periods.

Beyond POS regulations, the decree implements broader tax reforms. These include extending the timeframe for VAT deductions to two years and introducing a 26% substitute tax on positive differentials of tax credits purchased by professionals. The legislation also includes updates regarding ISA subjects renewing their CPB for 2026-2027 and clarifications on dependents and allowances effective from 2025.
