Usage notes
- Most often used in legal, administrative, and business contexts: codice fiscale, anno fiscale, paradiso fiscale.
- For 'tax' in everyday English, Italian often prefers tributario in technical contexts; fiscale is broader and more common in fixed expressions.
- The sense 'punctilious' is rare and literary; don't use fiscale for ordinary 'careful' or 'strict' in conversation.
