Cultural Note

Italian tax law (legge 249/2006) requires businesses to issue receipts for all sales. Budget airlines operating in Italy are required to provide receipts even for on-board sales. Digital receipts sent by email are legally valid in Italy. Keep all receipts for tax purposes if the flight is business-related.
