What is it
It is a personal alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies the subjects within the Italian State, as far as tax and administrative matters are concerned.
The tax code is one of the required documents to get the Residence Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno), to rent a room and open a bank account. Please note that the temporary tax code issued upon your registration on Alice web portal (the University of Pisa registration web portal) or Universitaly web portal is not considered as valid.
How to get the Tax Code
You can apply for a tax code only after arriving in Italy.
It is necessary to book an in-person appointment at the following link: Agenzia delle Entrate - Prenotazione appuntamenti – you can choose the most convenient office to reach.
