What is the tax registration certificate?
The tax registration certificate shows a taxpayer’s tax-office details and the annual income they have declared. It is obtained via the Revenue Administration/e-Devlet and documents the self-employed’s income level.
What is it needed for in an Italian application?
It is asked for to document the income of self-employed families in the DSU/ISEE Parificato income calculation and the economic means on a student visa. As the counterpart to the payslip of salaried employees, it is the core income-proof document for the self-employed.
Where and how do you get the document?
Obtain the tax registration certificate via e-Devlet/the Interactive Tax Office, and the income tax return likewise from the tax office/e-Devlet records. The apostille on this public-sourced document can be taken through the Governorate/District Governorate.
The apostille and sworn-translation process
Take the current year’s tax registration certificate and return, have them apostilled where needed and have the sworn Italian translation made. The declared income amount and the period must be plain in the translation.
What to watch in the sworn translation
Because the DSU calculation rests on the annual income, the return period must be correct. The income on the tax registration certificate is expected to be consistent with the income on the return.
