Fiscal year — in Spanish and Italian.

Definition

The 12-month period used for tax accounting.

Spanish and Italian equivalents

In Spanish, Fiscal year is rendered as Ejercicio fiscal / Año fiscal; in Italian, as Esercizio fiscale / Anno d'imposta. Spanish usage admits more than one form (Ejercicio fiscal / Año fiscal); the choice depends on the country and on the type of document. Italian likewise admits more than one form (Esercizio fiscale / Anno d'imposta), with the choice driven by the document type and context. Spanish equivalents follow Argentine (Rioplatense) usage where it differs from European Spanish. In a certified translation the equivalent is chosen for the target jurisdiction; where the concept has no exact counterpart, the source term is kept alongside a functional explanation.

Translating Tax & Financial Law terminology

Tax terminology is tied to each country's own taxes and authorities: IRPF, IVA, ISR, IRPEF, codice fiscale, NIF, RFC, Agencia Tributaria, Agenzia delle Entrate. A certified translation never converts these into IRS equivalents; it keeps the original name, gives its expansion, and adds the nearest English description so that a U.S. accountant, immigration officer or court knows exactly which tax, identifier or agency is meant. Figures, dates and currency formats are reproduced as in the source.
