Italian translation:Barbarella
Explanation:
is right. I wonder whether it could be too much of a localization to translate it as Vat.
Suppose it is a US or Canadian or UK document? In Canada, for example, we don't have a codice fiscale as such, we use our social insurance number on our income tax return, or we have a GST (GST being our national VAT) registration number.
Perhaps a more generic translation would be "codice fiscale, or codici fiscali", "numero fiscale", depending on the context and the audience.

cordiali saluti a tutti
