The Modern No-Deposit Guarantee to Maintain VAT VIES Activation in Italy
The VAT Insurance Guarantee Italy is the new insurance-based alternative designed specifically for non-EU companies operating with an Italian Fiscal Representative and needing to maintain a valid VIES registration.
Designed for reliable non-EU businesses with proven VAT compliance or at least 24 months with their Fiscal Representative.
Unlike a traditional Bank Guarantee, which normally requires a full cash deposit or frozen funds for the entire three-year period, this insurance solution allows companies to remain compliant without depositing any money.
It offers a sustainable, fast, and fully recognised way to meet the Italian Tax Authority’s new mandatory guarantee requirement.
This page explains everything in a simple, clear, step-by-step way:

based VIES Guarantee
Requires an Italian co-obligor
For example your fiscal representative or an Italian company/director.
Fastest Issuance (3–4 Days)
A fixed €1,500 premium for the entire 36-month period — no hidden fees.
Lowest Cost on the Market
Ideal when you must activate your VIES VAT status quickly.
No Cash Deposit Required
No Cash Deposit Required — no frozen funds, no blocked capital.
The Strongest Traditional Option
Preferred by companies that want a classic bank-issued guarantee.
No Personal or Corporate Guarantees Needed
The €50,000 cash deposit replaces the need for any co-obligor or personal guarantees.
Fully Accepted by All Italian Tax Offices
The deposit is held as collateral for the entire guarantee period and released at the end if there are no tax issues.
No Italian Co-Obligor Needed
Perfect if your Fiscal Representative cannot act as co-guarantor.
Strong Bank-Issued Security
A guarantee backed by a financial institution, fully compliant with Italian law.
Collateral via €50,000 Life Insurance Policy
€50,000 are used to fund a single-premium life insurance policy pledged as collateral for the guarantee – no need to open an Italian bank account, but the amount remains tied up for the duration of the guarantee.
