Brazil Certification Tax Authorities

Note:

To access the Brazil Certification Tax Authorities SuiteApp documentation in Brazilian Portuguese (Português do Brasil), see Brazil Certification Tax Authorities.

The Brazil Certification Tax Authorities SuiteApp provides predefined plug-ins, templates, and records to enable you to submit e-documents to several Brazilian tax authorities.

E-Document Certification in Brazil

In Brazil, you must generate an electronic invoice for every sale of goods or services. You may also need to generate e-documents for accounting and bookkeeping reports, certain tax collection forms, and other transactions involving goods, services, or expenses.

You must submit your e-documents to the appropriate tax authorities, such as the Receita Federal, state Secretarias da Fazenda (SEFAZ), and city governments. These authorities certify your e-documents by verifying authenticity and compliance with format, content, and fiscal requirements.

After certification, you can:

  • Share e-documents with vendors, customers, or tax agencies.

  • Use e-documents for bookkeeping and accounting.

  • Store e-documents to meet legal retention requirements. Retention periods vary by type of e-document.

Brazil Certification Tax Authorities works with the LATAM E-Document Certification SuiteApp to support e-document certification for companies doing business in Brazil. For more information, see LATAM E-Document Certification.

Predefined Records and E-Document Templates

Brazil Certification Tax Authorities provides predefined records and e-document templates for tax authorities from all states and several cities in Brazil.

NetSuite uses the templates to generate e-documents and tax authority certification service records to set up the communication between your account and tax authorities' web services.

Brazil Certification Tax Authorities also supplies e-document templates for third-party standards adopted by some cities, such as ABRASF and GIAP.

To verify which template the SuiteApp supports for your municipal tax authority, see Supported Cities.

For cities that adopt the NFS-e Nacional standard, the SuiteApp provides a specific tax authority certification service named Secretaria de Finanças Nacional.

The SuiteApp also includes predefined tax authority records for other e-document categories, including:

  • EFD-Reinf Tax Authority - Tax authority certification service for the Escrituração Fiscal Digital de Retenções e Outras Informações Fiscais (EFD-Reinf) report.

  • GNRE Tax Authority - Tax authority certification service for the Guia Nacional de Recolhimento de Tributos Estaduais (GNRE) tax collection form.

  • GNRE Espírito Santo Tax Authority - Tax authority certification service for the Documento Único de Arrecadação (DUA). The DUA is a tax collection form equivalent to the GNRE, but specific to the state of Espírito Santo.

  • Receiver Acknowledgment Tax Authority - Tax authority certification service for receiver acknowledgment (DF-e).

  • State Tax Authority for DC-e - Tax authority certification service for the electronic declaration of contents (DC-e). Brazil Certification Tax Authorities provides a predefined record for each Brazilian state.
