How does it work?

Several Brazilian states have a very interesting program called: CPF in the note! 

The purpose of this initiative is to ensure transparency in tax collection, especially from ICMS (Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services). 

So, when you, as a consumer, make a purchase, just enter your individual registration number (CPF) to the establishment. Thus, this information is recorded in the invoice. 

Therefore, this simple action brings a number of advantages for you. First, state governments have better control over ICMS collection, curbing tax evasion.

After all, it makes it difficult for someone to omit information about their economic activities and income. 

Also, when your CPF linked to the note, you can accumulate points, participate in sweepstakes and even redeem values. 

Each state establishes its own rules and benefits criteria. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the conditions in force in your locality.

But after all, what do I get with CPF in the note? This system, adopted by several Brazilian states, brings direct benefits to consumers. Look!

Points accumulation 

By registering your CPF on the invoice, you start to accumulate points with each purchase made. 

So these points can be exchanged for prizes, discounts or even redemptions in cash, depending on the rules established by your state. 

Participation in sweepstakes 

Many CPF programs in the note offer the opportunity to participate in raffles with various types of awards. 

So just keep your information up to date and make your purchases normally to compete for these benefits. 

Discounts on Taxes

Some states allow you to use accumulated points to get direct discounts on tax payment, such as the IPVA (Motor Vehicle Property Tax) or the IPTU (Urban Property and Territorial Tax). 

Rescue of values

Finally, in certain locations, it is possible to redeem directly in cash the values ​​corresponding to the accumulated points. 

Therefore, this option is an interesting way to get back part of what was paid in taxes.
