Since January 1, 2018, 1 and 2 cent coins are no longer produced.
Under Italian law (DL n. 50/2017), the total amount due, if paid entirely in cash, must be rounded to the nearest €0.05:
- €0.01–€0.02 → rounded down to €0.00
- €0.03–€0.04 → rounded up to €0.05
- €0.06–€0.07 → rounded down to €0.05
- €0.08–€0.09 → rounded up to €0.10
This rule applies only if the payment is made entirely in cash.
The "Documento Commerciale Online" web procedure on which SIGN IT lite is based technically tolerates a discrepancy of up to €0.02 between the document total and the payment total.
Rounding down
The difference (€0.01 / €0.02) is recorded as a discount at payment level:payments[type=CASH].details.discountExample: if
total_vat.inclusiveis €23.02, the cash amount due is €23"payments": [ { "type": "CASH", "details": { "amount": "23.00", "discount: "0.02" } } ]Rounding up
