Can you issue an invoice?
'Emettere' — 'e-MET-te-re'. Four syllables; double 't'; stress on second syllable.
Ask when travelling for business purposes and you need a proper VAT invoice rather than a simple receipt for your company's accounting.
'Fattura' is the official Italian term for a VAT invoice (factura). It differs from a 'ricevuta' (receipt) in that it includes full tax details. Italian licensed taxis can issue 'fatture' upon request with their P.IVA (VAT number).

Può fare la fattura elettronica?
Can you issue an electronic invoice?
Since 2019, Italy mandates electronic invoicing ('fattura elettronica') for most B2B transactions.
Italy's electronic invoicing system ('Sistema di Interscambio') is among the most advanced in Europe. All licensed Italian taxis can issue digital invoices. Keep the driver's P.IVA (found on their dashboard card) for your records.
