fiscali

Fiscali is the plural form of the Italian adjective fiscale, meaning related to public finances, taxation, or the treasury. The term derives from Latin fiscus, meaning treasury, and is used across economics, law, and public policy to describe policies, laws, and institutions that concern government revenue and spending.

In Italian usage, fiscale describes things connected to taxation and budgeting. The related noun fisco denotes the tax authorities and the tax system, while fiscalità refers to the field of taxation as a whole. Common phrases include politiche fiscali (fiscal policies), riforma fiscale (tax reform), entrate fiscali (tax revenues), and obblighi fiscali (tax obligations).

The concept of fiscal affairs covers government budgeting, revenue generation, taxation rules, and public expenditure. It is often contrasted with monetary policy in economics, though both influence national economic stability. In international contexts, the English cognate is fiscal, used in similar senses to denote matters pertaining to government finance and taxation.
