Notice No. 1
BRANCHES OF ITALIAN FIRMS IN TRIESTE
The attention of all firms, including firms having their Head Office in Trieste and branches of firms in Trieste having their Head Office in Italy, is drawn to the provisions of law whereby firms, branches of firms and individuals operating in the Free Territory of Trieste (British-United States Zone), are compelled to register and to keep proper accounting of their business transactions.
This matter is specifically referred in Articles 2196 to 2197 and 2205, and in Sub-section II, Articles 2214, 2215, 2217 and 2220 of the Civil Code.
It has come to the attention of the Allied Military Government that a nurfiber of branches of firms, having their Head Office in Italy, are still not' keeping a separate accounting system in the Free Territory of Trieste (British-United States Zone).
The Free Territory of Trieste being a separate entity, it is necessary for all branches of Italian firms operating within the Territory to consider themselves as branches of foreign firms. Failure to keep proper accounting of business transaction renders such firms or branches of firms liable to the penalties provided for in the law.
