From a standard accounting manual "Double entry, an elementary illustration:
A trader commences business with £1,000 in cash.
This is recorded by a debit to cash account and a credit to capital account."
In Italian "debit" is "dare" and "credit" (in a "debit credit" context not a "DEBT credit" context) is "avere"

Mr Murray (X) Jul 13, 2010:
Difference You could have a recurring payment - a 'due' as pointed out in the previous question, but it's not a 'debit' until it's actually deducted. If you never pay your 'dues' - you never see the 'debit.'

'dovuto' is an obligation (due, payable) - as per the previous question - whether or not someone meets or pays that obligation is another thing (debit).

Or maybe I'm just spitballing here.

My membership 'dues' at $300 per year. My account was in 'debit' situation.

Forse per distinguerla dall'IRPEF a credito? I don't know ...
philgoddard Jul 13, 2010:
So what is the difference, if any, between this and "dovuta" in the asker's other question?

due

"Additional regional IRPEF (personal income tax) due." Obviously the net amount due will be after tax credits have been deducted, if you are lucky enough to have any.

I did my own accounts and 740 and Modello Unico for years. "a debito" is what you have to pay, just as I put at the bottom of my invoices "a vostro debito". It is plain simple Italian and English.
A "debit" in English is much more technical and translates "dare" in a context of "avere" and "dare".

taxes due

(On a tax return, "dovuta" and "a debito" mean the same thing.)
In banking, "a debito" may mean "due and still payable", or "due and financed on credit".
Thus the phrase presented is: additional regional personal income taxes due (under IRPEF).
