tax code number

Without wishing to detract from the many other excellent suggestions above, I was reminded of my friend Robin, who, having spent several years in the employ of Her Majesty's Inland Revenue Service (Great Britain), always translates "codice fiscale" with "tax code number", possibly in an excess of zeal left over from his civil service days, but presumably basing his wording on solid experience.

agree Giovanni Guarnieri MITI, MIL : here in England, we just call it "tax code". Do you want to swap back?

You mean pay tax in Britain rather than Italy? I think I might be better off!

"fiscal code"

This is a purely Italian concept. It is not a social security no. as in the US. The Dizioanrio GARZANTI di BUSINESS ENGLISH translates it merely as "Fiscal Code".
Hope that was of help.

taxation number (vedi sotto)

qui in Canada utilizziamo il Social Insurance Number anche sulla dichiarazione dei redditi come codice di identificazione. Ma non so se l'inverso 'e vero, cioe' se il codice fiscale si usa anche per scopi diversi dall'identificazione da parte del fisco.

Ho trovato che in New Zealand si usa "personal taxation number" (esiste anche il business taxation number); non riesco ad aprire un paio di siti americani dove ho visto che su certi formulari chiedono di indicare "social security number or taxation number"

buon lavoro

tax and social security number

Basically, I agree with Paola. Whatever you choose use "number" rather than "code" since "tax code" is generally used to refer to the tax laws.

neutral Ilona Catani : Would "code" be more appropriate in consideration of the fact that the digits that make up the "codice fiscale" are not only numbers but letters too?
