Usage Note

Esattoriale is a technical adjective meaning 'pertaining to tax collection' — ufficio esattoriale is the tax-collection office, and agente esattoriale is a tax collector or enforcement officer. It derives from esattore (tax collector). The word is almost exclusively used in administrative and legal contexts; in everyday speech Italians say fiscale or tributario for tax-related matters.
