ATTENTION:

• The Consulate does not issue plasticized cards but a Certificate of Attribution which is a paper form containing a bar code for optical reading, and with functions of use equivalent to those of the plastic card.
• The plastic card is issued by the Revenue Agency and is sent by post to the Consular Office, which completes the application procedure.
• For most tax transactions it is not necessary to have a plastic card.
• The only valid tax code is the one issued by the Revenue Agency (abroad, through the Consulates).
• No external party is authorized to produce software programs for the calculation of the code and to print the card.
• Note that the use for illegal purposes of a fictitious tax code or one not assigned by the Ministry of Finance is severely punished by law.
