Digital SAD - Fully digital process

IThe SAD - Simplified Accompanying Document - is indispensable for the circulation of most of the energy products that have paid the excise duty: it is required both for the circulation within the EU (of products already released for consumption in an EU country and destined for another EU country) and for the national circulation of products subject to excise duty.

At the end of 2019, the legislator (article 11, paragraph 1, of Legislative Decree 26.10.2019, n.124) entrusted ADM’s General Director with the task of establishing timing and methods for introducing the obligation to present the SDA exclusively electronically. The scope of application of the obligation is limited to the national circulation of petrol and diesel used as fuel, subject to excise duty.

ADM has produced a video that shows in a clear and dynamic way the steps already outlined for the issuance and automated management of the IT SAD: in compliance with these steps, it will soon be possible to manage all the phases of the circulation of petrol and diesel used as fuel, subject to excise duty. This will make the transport of such products quicker and more easily traceable; the sender, the person in charge of the freight, and the recipient must all be able to send electronic messages.
