Guide to obtaining a copy of your tax code

A copy of the tax code is an official document that contains the personal identification code assigned to every Italian citizen or resident in Italy.

The tax code serves to uniquely identify a natural or legal person in their dealings with the Public Administration and with public or private entities.

A copy of the tax code may be requested if the health card is lost, damaged, or untraceable , or when it needs to be attached to legal, inheritance, or tax procedures.
In the context of inheritance , it is often necessary to submit a copy of the deceased's and heirs' tax codes for the inheritance declaration and subsequent land registry and banking procedures.

Here's a guide to requesting a copy of your tax code online through the Agenzia delle Successioni.

Who can request a copy of their tax code?

A copy of the tax code is issued by the Revenue Agency, the body responsible for managing the national tax register.

If your health card is lost or damaged, you can obtain an official duplicate of your tax code , a replacement certificate valid for tax and administrative purposes, or a certified copy of your personal data associated with your tax code.

With formal authorization, the Agenzia delle Successioni can submit the request to the Revenue Agency and send the applicant a copy of the tax code in digital format.

What is the purpose of a copy of the tax code in inheritances?

A copy of the tax code is essential to correctly identify the subjects involved in an inheritance, both the deceased and the heirs.

It is required for the declaration of succession , but also for land registry transfers and real estate transactions, as well as banking practices relating to the deceased's accounts and the drafting of notarial deeds and contracts.

In addition to a copy of your tax code, the Agenzia delle Successioni can provide you with registry certificates, civil status records, and tax documents necessary for the complete management of inheritance or administrative procedures.
