Yep, I'd say it is to encourage people not to do cash jobs / black money jobs.
Similar to bitcoin, cash can be transacted person to person without oversight, so it still won't stop it.
They can't try to ban cash either.
Topic: Portuguese government is planning lottery with invoice bills (Read 717 times)
I dont think this has anything to do with Bitcoin per se, just tax evasion in general.
Portugal is one of the harder hit areas of the economic crisis. The P in PIIGS is Portugal.

The Portuguese government has announced a lottery, starting in January, to encourage people to ask for invoice receipt when they buy something.
The invoice bills are numbered and one of them wins a car if the number is the same as the random number extracted. This lottery will be every week: a car given every week to a random invoice ownership.

I suppose the governments are thinking ahead in ways to tax in the future if bitcoin goes mainstream.
I think this will try many people and encourage them to always ask for the receipt.
