Vorrei una fattura intestata a me.

I would like an invoice made out to me.

Pronunciation

'Fattura' — fat-TU-ra. Three syllables. 'Intestata' — in-tes-TA-ta.

When to use it

Use for business purchases, expense reports, or when you need an official invoice for tax purposes. The 'fattura' is a formal Italian legal document with specific fields required by tax law.

What it means

'Fattura' = invoice (legal document for B2B or tax deduction purposes). 'Intestata a me' = made out to me (literally 'headed to me'). A fattura must include: seller's partita IVA, buyer's name/address/codice fiscale, description of goods, price, and VAT breakdown.

Variations

Intestata alla mia azienda.

Made out to my company.

For business invoices.

Ho bisogno del codice fiscale sulla fattura.

I need my tax code on the invoice.

Specifies a required field.

Posso avere la fattura elettronica?

Can I have the electronic invoice?

Italy mandates e-invoicing for most B2B transactions.

Mini Dialogue

Cliente: Vorrei una fattura intestata a me — è per la dichiarazione dei redditi. Commessa: Certo. Mi dà il suo codice fiscale e indirizzo? Cliente: Sì, eccoli. Commessa: Perfetto, la mando via email entro oggi.

Cultural Note

Italy introduced mandatory electronic invoicing ('fatturazione elettronica') between businesses in 2019 and extended it to some consumer transactions in 2021. The SDI (Sistema di Interscambio) platform routes all electronic invoices through the tax authority — making VAT fraud much harder.
