NFS-e: FEDERAL REVENUE LAUNCHES THE ELECTRONIC SERVICES INVOICE APPLICATION.
On December 1, the Special Secretariat of the Federal Revenue of the Ministry of Economy launched the Electronic Services Invoice (NFS-e) application.
Available to download for both iOS and Android, the app will make everyday life much easier for service providers, who can use the National NFS-e Issuer Module directly on their cell phones, in a safe and practical way.

There is no charge for downloading the app, which allows you to issue electronic invoices, consult documents that have already been issued and check any records that have not yet been transmitted. The customer, in turn, receives notification that the invoice has been issued by electronic message, also via cell phone.

No bureaucracy
When the service provider issues a new invoice, the NFS-e application asks for very little information:
- Customer's CPF or CNPJ;
- Type of service provided;
- Value of the operation.

It's safe
Protected by password (or biometrics, if available on the cell phone), the system allows NFS-e to be issued even when there is no Internet access.

Even without a connection
The app reports when the device is not connected (no data connection) and requests that the invoices generated be sent to the municipality when the connection is re-established.

Electronic Invoice for Services is revolutionary
Referring to the application and, in a broader sense, to the NFS-e, the special secretary of the Federal Revenue Service said: "The electronic service invoice is revolutionary".
What are the risks of selling without an invoice?
Standardization
The app is one of the products of the NFS-e project, a series of technological solutions that also helps the tax authorities of the municipalities and the Federal District, since the Tax on Services of Any Nature (ISS or ISSQN) is the responsibility of the municipalities and the Federal District.
The NFS-e Digital Tax Administration Platform solves the problem of the lack of standardization in the sector by taking into account the 5,570 different laws and service invoices in the country, one for each municipality, as well as the various methods of calculation.
"The project standardizes the tax document model and provides a basket of technological products" for the whole of Brazil.

Agreement
In June of this year, an agreement was signed between the tax administrations of the Federal Government, the Federal District and the municipalities to establish the national NFS-e standard, with the aim of making it easier for municipal administrators and companies to calculate the Tax on Services of Any Kind (ISSQN). 119 Brazilian municipalities have already signed up, including 16 capitals. This group accounts for 58% of the ISSQN collected throughout the country.
At first, the NFS-e issuer application will serve taxpayers registered in municipalities that have already joined the agreement and allow the use of this solution.
As of January 1, 2023, the application will be available to all MEIs, regardless of any agreement or permission to use it. Issuance from that date will be optional. It will become mandatory for MEIs providing services, in transactions between companies, as of April 3, 2023 (CGSN Resolution No. 169/2022). In operations for individuals, the issuance of NFS-e remains optional.
