# Italian classification of economic activities code (ATECO) (`it_ateco`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Code of ATECO, the Italian classification of economic activities kept by ISTAT and used by the business register and the tax agency. Sections are capital letters; divisions, groups, classes, categories and subcategories have two to six digits, written with dots, as in 46.11.01. The first four digits follow NACE (eu_nace); the fifth and sixth are Italian, and a code that ends in 0 has the same content as the level above it. ATECO 2025, the Italian version of NACE Rev. 2.1 with 22 sections from A to V, came into force on 1 January 2025 and has been operational since 1 April 2025; codes of ATECO 2007 stay in older data.
