Highlight

Brazil has been a fiscal country since 2005. It first had a hardware fiscalization system – a fiscal printer (ECF). The fiscal printer was replaced by the software for issuing digital fiscal receipts (NFC-e) in 2016, which is not yet mandatory nationwide. Starting in 2026, the fiscal printer will be completely phased out and the software fiscalization will be mandatory in all 27 Brazilian federal units. The official currency is the Brazilian real (BRL).

Brazil

Starting January 1, 2026, all 27 Brazilian states will officially switch to software fiscalization. Brazil is a Federative Republic with 27 federal units, which all apply the same fiscalization system, and federal laws, but the federal units issue their own state legislation as well and are free to add more procedures and rules regarding fiscalization. The public body that governs fiscalization in Brazilian states is the SEFAZ – the State Treasury/Finance Secretariat. It acts as a Tax Authority on the state level, which means that all 27 states have their own SEFAZ. .

Type of fiscalization: hardware-software

Fiscalization in Brazil is a software system with real-time communication with the Tax Authority. The software issues a digital fiscal receipt (NFC-e), primarily used in the retail sector, for B2C transaction. The digital fiscal receipt is an exclusively digital document (XML file), which is followed by a printed representation (DANFE NFC-e) with a QR code.  
In practice, the issuing software generates the transaction data, signs it with a digital certificate, transmits it to the Tax Authority for validation, and receives an authorization response; only then can the sale be finalized and a printed receipt (DANFE NFC-e with a QR code) be provided to the customer. 
In the past Brazil relied on certified fiscal devices (such as the fiscal printer (ECF)), now the system has transitioned to a software-based model, with mandatory adoption nationwide by 2026, ensuring full transaction visibility and real-time tax control.
