Italian term or phrase: CVF
Hello, anyone know what CVF stands for in this context. This comes in a table in a supervisor manual for the use of private cars for work. I haven't been able to come up with anything...

Tipologia auto
Autovettura a benzina < 17 cvf o autovettura diesel < 20 cvf

Thanks!

tax(able) horsepower
Explanation:
tax horsepower, cavalli fiscali, I imagine - note this is quite different from the actual hp rating which will be closer to 100 (like a citroen 2cv is not actually 2hp!)

Explanation:
CVF = cavalli fiscali

"Le imprese e le associazioni professionali che autorizzano i dipendenti e gli amministratori all’utilizzo dell’ autoveicolo di proprietà di questi ultimi per le trasferte e che corrispondono loro un rimborso, hanno riconosciuto un componente negativo di reddito deducibile per il rimborso erogato nel limite del costo di percorrenza di automezzi con cilindrata non superiore ai 17 Cavalli Fiscali se a benzina, ovvero 20 Cavalli Fiscali se diesel."
