Hey i'm not a business consultant but i know that there can be 2 discount forms..one is related to the payment method ( "sconto pagamento" in italian)..imagine you pay in cash at the checkout in a shop...there you can get a discount and this is calculated after VAT and in these terms you pay all ammount for a service/product before invoice!..the purpose is to reduce cash flow income latency from customers...i mean Shop owner can receive all the money in one time payment.

The other is a discount related to the particular marketing conditions ( sconto cassa ) ...so when you want to compete in a market or simple reduce stock of old products etc etc...this kind of discount must be calculated before tax ( on "imponibile"...product total cost - Discount + VAT)

ciao

Thank you.

First of all I admit yo be very confused. You are right.

My goal is to have some products sold for free at zero cost but, above all, VAT must be calculated on the entire value of the tax base, since the seller will pay the VAT and the customer will pay nothing so VAT must be calculated.
I can only get an invoice with taxable 0 and VAT 0 with the shopping cart discounts and this is incorrect for Italian law.

issue the "free" invoice with the application of VAT, exercising the right not to charge it to the customer, specifying on the invoice that it is a "free transfer without recourse pursuant to art. 18 of the Presidential Decree 633/1972

Please, add google translator to my confusion ...  😫
