The VAT threshold is the threshold of gross sales that you make within Italy. Also known as distance selling, the threshold for EU businesses selling into Italy is €35,000. This means when you reach or exceed this amount you are required to register for VAT in Italy.
For Non EU it is very different. If you are storing goods in any EU country via a fulfilment centre such as Amazon FBA then regardless of sales you are required to register for VAT in the country you are storing in.
If you are shipping goods from your own non-eu country then there are 2 options. You must first clear the goods into the destination eu country and you will be required to pay the VAT and Duty to the Italian authorities. In order to claim this back you must be VAT registered.
