The tax code is a personal code made up of letters and numbers, which uniquely identifies individuals within the Italian state, particularly from a tax and administrative perspective. It is not an identity document, but it allows the exchange of information between different administrations.
Having a tax code is essential for accessing services provided by public organisations (e.g. enrolling in University and in the National Health Service), signing contracts (e.g. employment or rental contracts), opening a current account, but also for buying a phone card.
How to apply for a tax code
You can only apply for a tax code after arrival in Italy.
You must book an in-person appointment on the website Agenzia delle Entrate – Appointment Booking – you can choose the most convenient location to reach.
At the appointment you must present:
Non-EU students with an Italian visa
- Passport with a valid Italian entry visa, affixed to it
- Copy of the passport (only the pages with personal data) and of the visa
- Form AA4/8 completed following the instructions
EU students
Non-EU students with a visa from an EU Member Country
It is recommended to have a document certifying your status at the University of Pisa with you.
Attention: the only official tax code is the one issued by the Italian Agenzia delle Entrate or the Italian Embassies. The tax code generated by ALICE is not official.
