The \u201ccodice fiscale\u201d is essential if you need to carry out financial transactions in Italy, for properties and\/or inheritance matters, and it is also issued to non-Italians. The service is free of charge and is only for private individuals. Companies must apply for a tax code in Italy, at the relevant office of the \u201cAgenzia delle Entrate\u201d (www.agenziaentrate.gov.it<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The request for a tax code, for those who do not reside in Italy, can be submitted through the competent Consular Office in their local area. To check the competent Consulate, please click HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The tax code appears on the Italian health insurance card, provided to people who reside in Italy. However, those who reside abroad and are not entitled to a health card, as they are not beneficiaries of health care in Italy, can request the tax code certificate. It is NOT possible to obtain the tax code plastic card at the Consular Office. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a\u00a0SPID<\/a> application, it is sufficient to obtain a tax code CERTIFICATE.
\n<\/strong>The Circular communication from Agenzia per l’Italia Digitale (AGID – Digital Italy Agency<\/em>) on 30th April 2024 (see HERE<\/strong><\/a>) specifies that, when verifying the applicant’s tax code, SPID providers must accept the tax code certificate issued by Italian diplomatic mission, included the one downloaded form Fast It.<\/p>\n
