CodiceFiscale: .NET Core Library for Italian Tax Code Calculation & Validation

Developed a .NET Core library, 'CodiceFiscale,' for calculating and validating the Italian Tax Code (Codice Fiscale). Available on NuGet and GitHub, it offers an easy-to-use interface for generating, decoding, and validating tax codes based on personal data.

Introduction

The 'Codice Fiscale' (Italian Tax Code) is a unique alphanumeric identifier assigned to individuals in Italy. Its generation and validation involve a complex set of rules based on personal data such as name, surname, date of birth, and place of birth. There was a need for a robust and easy-to-use library for .NET developers to handle this complexity within their applications.

Project Overview

The 'CodiceFiscale' library is a .NET Core solution designed to simplify the process of generating and validating the Italian Tax Code. It provides a clean, programmatic interface for developers, abstracting away the intricate logic involved. The library is ideal for applications requiring tax code management, user registration, and integration with Italian government services. It is made publicly available on NuGet and GitHub, complete with documentation and usage examples.

Features & Functionality

• Generation (Encoding): Accurately calculates the Italian Tax Code based on provided personal details (surname, name, gender, date of birth, city of birth).
• Validation: Verifies the structural and algorithmic correctness of an existing Italian Tax Code.
• Decoding: Extracts personal information embedded within a valid Italian Tax Code, providing insights into the individual's data.
• Configurability: Designed for ease of integration into any .NET Core application.

Installation

The 'CodiceFiscale' library can be easily installed via the NuGet Package Manager

Skills Used
