O São Paulo invoice application is a program created by the government of the state of São Paulo and its main mission is to encourage consumers to demand the issuance of invoices for purchases made at establishments in São Paulo.
The São Paulo invoice program was created in 2007 precisely in the month of October. All companies or individuals can request the issuance of the invoice as long as it is in an establishment legalized in the operating rules.
The program returns to the consumer 20% the value of the ICMS – tax on operations related to the movement of goods and on the provision of services, when he informs the CPF – Cadastro de Pessoa Individuals, or CNPJ – Cadastro Nacional de Pessoa Jurídicas. Therefore, whenever you make a purchase at any establishment, be sure to inform your CPF or CNPJ.
How does the Paulista Invoice Program work?

1 – When making a purchase, the seller will ask if you want CPF or CNPJ in the invoice.
2 – If you are interested in informing the document, say yes and inform the numbers that make up your CPF or CNPJ.
3 – The seller will then insert your document in the invoice.
4 – After that, the farm secretary will collect the value of the ICMS on the purchase and credit the percentage value of the purchase made to the consumer's account.
