C - ATECO Codes Manufacturing

Section C covers manufacturing activities: the transformation, processing and production of goods, from meat processing to the manufacture of furniture, textiles, metal products and machinery. A large part of Italian craft work falls under these codes, from carpenters and tailors to small food production workshops. For tax purposes almost all of these activities carry a profitability coefficient of 67% in the flat-rate regime and require enrolment in the INPS artisans' scheme.

Frequently asked questions

What is the profitability coefficient for manufacturing activities in the flat-rate regime?
For manufacturing and craft activities in section C the profitability coefficient is 67%. This means taxable income is obtained by multiplying receipts by 0.67: on €50,000 of turnover the taxable base is €33,500, on which the substitute tax (5% or 15%) and INPS contributions are calculated. Actual costs for raw materials and equipment are not deductible, as they are already accounted for in the 33% flat-rate allowance. You can calculate your taxes for your specific situation.
Should someone registering a VAT number for manufacturing enrol in the INPS artisans' or commerciants' scheme?
Anyone who predominantly produces, processes or repairs goods by hand enrolls in the INPS artisans' scheme, not the commerciants' scheme. Registration is done through the ComUnica filing at the Chamber of Commerce, which simultaneously activates the Business Register entry, the INPS position and INAIL cover, along with enrolment in the craft enterprise register. The practical difference from the commerciants' scheme is minor in terms of contributions, but the category, funds and some sector-specific benefits differ.
How much do manufacturing artisans pay in INPS contributions under the flat-rate regime in 2026?
Artisans pay a fixed annual contribution of around €4,521, payable even on low turnover, up to a minimum income threshold of around €18,808. On the portion of income exceeding the threshold a rate of 24% applies. Those in the flat-rate regime can apply for a 35% contribution reduction, which lowers both the fixed amount and the contributions on income above the threshold, by submitting a request to INPS within the relevant deadline.
