Taxation Control
A lot of people don't know, but the use of CPF in the note is, in fact, a measure of state governments, which explains the fact that not all states have this measure.
States such as São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, Pará, Bahia, Ceará, among others, decided to adopt the measure as a form of taxation control.
Simply put: this is an initiative coming from the state governments that aims to control the taxation of commerce, the ICMS, in addition to combating tax evasion.
Therefore, by putting your CPF on the bill, you are contributing, as a citizen, to improving the inspection of businesses and helping to fight corruption.
In addition, some states provide benefits for those who adhere to the measure, such as drawing prizes, discounts on IPVA and IPTU, in addition to the possibility of redemption.
Therefore, it is worth seeking information about the benefits that your state is providing when you acquire this measure.
So how do I increase my Score

You can also take the opportunity to clear your name, through negotiations that make payment easier.
And also buy responsibly on credit, so that the authorities can profile your behavior as a consumer.
