QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Who are the subjects authorized to carry out prize promotions?
Prize promotions (competition, free gift promotions, etc.) can be organised only by manufacturing companies and businesses supplying or distributing goods and services, which make the object of the promotion, with the aim of advertising the company and increasing sales of the goods and services offered, as well as the visibility of the brand. Promotions can also be launched by those organisations representing business associations between companies, such as consortiums and cooperatives.
Is it necessary to request ministerial authorization in order to organise a prize promotion?
Such authorization is no longer required. However, as of Art. 10, item 1, of the Presidential Decree n. 430 of 26/10/2001, the subjects who intend to launch a prize competition must preventively communicate their initiative to the Ministry for Economic Development, by applying on-line through a dedicated form called “Prema CO/1, attaching the rules and regulations of the competitions, as well as a bank deposit receipt (bank /insurance guarantee or money deposit).

ITALIAN LEGISLATION
Introduction
The current legislation and ministerial circular notes that regulate Prize Promotions have mainly been drafted around the Presidential Decree 430 of 26/10/2001.
In addition to the above mentioned decree, the Ministry for Economic Development and the Revenue Agency have issued several circular notes, with the aim of clarifying many ambiguous aspects of the law and direct those operating in this field to a harmonized interpretation of the laws in force.
