agree  Mario Freitas: Correct, but "taxpayer" instead of "tax". The number is for the institution, not for the tribute.
3 mins
  -> taxpayer, yes

neutral  Ana Rita Santiago: I'd say "Taxpayer" number, for it identifies the entity that must pay taxes and not the taxes themselves.
3 mins
  -> taxpayer, you're right

agree  Richard Purdom

agree  Gilmar Fernandes: I usually do this: CNPJ (Corporate Taxpayer Number). No point in using the literal translation of Cadastro.....since that won't make much sense culturally to EN speakers, as Jeff Boyle mentioned in the discussion box.

neutral  Mario Freitas: Patrícia, o CNPJ é o número de registro do contribuinte para todos os impostos e contribuições federais e não apenas o IR.
