papelaria (stationery and schoolbook shop)
A stationery shop: exercise books, pens, folders and, in specialist ones, also schoolbooks, books, photocopying and printing. There is a papelaria in almost every neighbourhood and next to many schools.
Where you come across it. School shopping in August and September; photocopying and printing documents at any time of year.
For the education deduction, what matters is the shop's activity as registered under its CAE code: an invoice from a specialist papelaria or bookshop counts towards despesas de educação, one from a supermarket towards general household expenses.
