TAX IDENTIFICATION CODE (CODICE FISCALE)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tax Identification Code is an alphanumeric code issued by the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) to identify individuals (Italian or foreign citizens) in their dealings with Italian public administrations, private parties, and entities. For natural persons, the Tax Code is determined based on personal data (such as name, date, and place of birth).<\/p>\n

Any administrative procedure (payment of taxes, duties, fees, etc.) or contractual activity (acceptance of inheritance, contracts with public or private entities, applications for financing, sponsorships, property leases or loans for use, etc.) requires the indication of the Tax Code of the person carrying it out.<\/p>\n
