The Fiscal Code is an alphanumeric identifier issued by the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate<\/em>) to identify individuals (both Italian and foreign citizens) in their dealings with Italian public administrations, private entities, and organizations. For natural persons, the Fiscal Code is determined based on their personal data.<\/p>\n

\u200bThe indication of the Fiscal Code is mandatory for any administrative fulfillment (payment of taxes, duties, fees, etc.) or legal activity (acceptance of inheritance, contracts with public or private parties, loan applications, sponsorships, real estate leases or loans for use, etc.).<\/p>\n
