Brazil

Brazil uses Notas Fiscais Eletrônicas (electronic fiscal notes) such as NFSe, NFe, and NFCe for reporting tax information to municipal, state, and federal authorities. The tax system is administered by the Receita Federal (Federal Revenue Service).

Tax identification is provided through a CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica) for businesses, consisting of 14 digits, or a CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) for individuals, consisting of 11 digits. Both types are valid for the issuance of NFS-e (electronic service invoices).

Brazilian addresses have three subdivisions relevant for tax purposes: bairro (neighbourhood), município (municipality), and estado (state). Municipality codes follow the IBGE coding system.

Service notes (NFSe) let service providers document and report taxes such as ISS (Imposto Sobre Serviços) related to the services they provide. Municipal governments regulate them. Special tax regimes include Simples Nacional for simplified taxation of micro and small enterprises, and MEI (Micro-Empreendedor Individual) for individual micro-entrepreneurs.
