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, every operation involving goods or services must be documented on electronic invoices. Companies may also be required to generate electronic accounting and bookkeeping reports. Tax collection forms and other operations involving goods, services, or expenses may need to be recorded as e-documents as well.

Brazilian companies must submit their e-documents to tax authorities, such as the Receita Federal, states’ Secretarias da Fazenda (SEFAZ), and cities’ governments. These authorities certify the e-documents by verifying their authenticity and compliance to format, content, and fiscal requirements.

You can share certified e-documents with other interested parties, such as vendors, customers, or tax agencies. You can use the e-documents for bookkeeping and accounting purposes. In Brazil, depending on their type, you may need to store certified e-documents for several years, due to legal requirements.

To support Brazilian e-document certification needs, the Brazil Certification Tax Authorities SuiteApp works with the LATAM E-Document Certification SuiteApp. For more information, see LATAM E-Document Certification.

Supported Tax Authorities

To certify electronic invoices for services, the SuiteApp supplies predefined tax authority records for a selection of cities and third-party standards. Verify with the tax authority to which you want to send e-documents whether they use their own template or a standard.
