| Precipizio fiscale | Jan 2, 2013 |
This is another term which is often used in the Italian media.
In addition, both "precipizio fiscale" and "baratro fiscale" are much more common than "abisso fiscale". (Since when Twitter users are a reliable source of information?).
Research and fact-checking should be staples of (good) journalism.

You can find it translated as 'precipizio fiscale' (I personally don't like it).
A possible synonym is: 'voragine fiscale'. I heard it on a few occasions on the TV and used it myself.

Well, I work for the Corriere della Sera, which seems to have opted for "baratro fiscale".
Obviously, other translations are available

I have heard "mur fiscal" (fiscal wall)
Not that any of the expressions have made any of it any clearer to me.
(But please don't explain, I have a feeling that ignorance is bliss here)

Apparently there is no consensus on the translation of fiscal cliff into Italian, and the Corriere is no exception. 
In this article, they use both precipizio and baratro fiscale http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2012/dicembre/31/altra_fumata_nera_per_budget_co_0_20121231_8cca5078-5312-11e2-a259-25e4e5485fba.shtml
However, at the Corriere della Sera archive can be found:
24 occurrences for "precipizio fiscale"
17 occurrences for "baratro fiscale"
1 occurrence for "abisso fiscale", and
0 occurrence for "voragine fiscale"
http://sitesearch.corriere.it/archivioStoricoEngine.action
I also checked the number of Google hits:
53,200 occurrences for "precipizio fiscale"
73,500 occurrences for "baratro fiscale"
2,510 occurrence for "abisso fiscale", and
583 occurrences for "voragine fiscale"
Apparently the Italian Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank, translated the term as "burrone del bilancio", which did not meet with much success. (Not surprisingly, I might add.) 
The Treccani encyclopedia suggests "precipizio fiscale"
http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/fiscal-cliff_(Neologismi)/
There might also be other variants which I am not aware of.

Very annoyingly, some Italian newspapers have decided to call it "il fiscal cliff" (pronounced "fees cal cleefeh").

In Spain, the fiscal cliff is widely known as the "abismo fiscal". [abismo = abyss]

The French daily paper 'Le Figaro' uses the term "précipice budgétaire", while 'Le Monde' uses the more literal translation "falaise budgétaire".
