Gold shop software · EUR · Ready-made packJewellery shop software for Italy
Italy is the home of goldsmithing and of 750. New pieces carry 22% IVA on their full value, and second-hand pieces bought from private sellers can be sold under the EU margin scheme — if their cost was recorded on the day they were bought.
Tax in Italy: 22%, and the margin scheme for second-hand
The EU margin scheme: VAT on the difference between the selling and buying price of a piece bought from a private person who charged no VAT, sitting inside the price: margin × 22 ÷ 122.
ZahabFlow records, with every piece that comes into the shop, its cost, type of seller, VAT status and source document — the data the margin scheme cannot work without.
To be honest about it: the margin calculation is in the pricing engine, but the till does not apply it yet, so today it charges 22% on the full value.
A worked example
A piece the shop bought from a private seller for €600 and sells for €900:
| Line | Calculation | Result (€) |
|---|---|---|
| Margin | 900 − 600 | 300.00 |
| Margin-scheme IVA (inside the price) | 300 × 22 ÷ 122 | 54.10 |
| Customer pays | — | 900.00 |
| For comparison: full-value IVA | 900 × 22% on top | 198.00 |
Prices in the example are illustrative, not today’s rates.

What every shop gets
A till priced from the rate of the moment
Price is never stored on a piece. It is rebuilt at every sale from the gram rate, fineness, making charge and tax, then fixed on the invoice.
Stock in grams per karat
Weight is stored in nanograms and fineness as parts per thousand, so pure grams add up and reconcile with no rounding.
Trade-in and buying scrap
The customer pays part of the price in old gold on the sell screen itself, and every gram that comes in is recorded with its cost and source.
Workshop
The customer’s gold on the bench is weighed going out and coming back, and the loss is recorded per craftsman.
Selling without internet
The arithmetic runs on the device itself; the sale waits in a queue, is sent when the connection returns, and the server re-prices it.
Day close
Expected grams per fineness and expected cash, against what you counted, with the difference recorded and a note.
Arabic and English
Arabic first, right to left, with full English — one tap to switch.
Questions we are asked
Can it sell under the margin scheme today?
Not on the till yet. The engine computes it and the data is recorded from day one, but today’s invoice charges 22% on the full value.
Does it support Italian e-invoicing?
Not today. We say so plainly because it is mandatory in Italy, and you should know before you start.
Does it handle exempt investment gold?
The EU investment-gold exemption rule is in the pricing engine, but it is not available on the till yet.
