número de contribuinte

This is what shops and cafés call your tax number. The question “Quer fatura com contribuinte?” means “Shall I put your number on the receipt?” It is not a separate number.

Where you come across it. The till in any shop.
Número de contribuinte and NIF are the same thing: one is the everyday name, the other the official one.
