It is not news to anyone that in Brazil we pay a lot of taxes, daily, and for everything. However, what the vast majority of the population still does not know is that there is a possibility that we will receive a percentage of these taxes back. I think you didn't expect this one.

Of course, you must have heard someone ask in a commercial establishment: “CPF on the note?”, and most likely you belong to the club of people who don't know whether to choose to wear it or not, correct? But after all, do you already know why this question is?

If you are curious to learn more about the Paulista Invoice to stay on top of its benefits, read until the end! 

Conceived and formalized in 2007, the São Paulo Invoice aims to return part of the taxes paid on products and services to citizens. This is an initiative of the Government of the State of São Paulo together with city halls to encourage contributions, reducing tax evasion. 

The main objective is to motivate consumers to receive invoices when paying for their products and/or services. As a reward, people can receive up to 30% from the Tax on Operations relating to the Circulation of Goods and Provision of Services (ICMS).
