Important Information about your CPF number

29 November 2007: Important Information about your CPF number

Your CPF number is the official tax registration number that is issued to you by the Brazilian government. Anyone purchasing a property in Brazil requires a CPF number. Every year, the Brazilian government asks that all overseas residents complete an online tax declaration before the 30th November. The process takes less than 5 minutes, but is important in order to keep your Brazilian documents regular and avoid problems in the future.

Under what circumstances does this apply to you?

1. If you have a CPF number and have not earned any income in Brazil
2. If you have a CPF number and earned income in Brazil
3. If you have a CPF number and own a property in Brazil
4. If you have a CPF number and do not own a property in Brazil.

To ensure your CPF is up-to-date and validated for the next 12 months, please visit the Brazilian government "Receita Federal" website and complete the online form.
