Legal framework for e-invoicing in Brazil¶

In Brazil, e-invoicing is highly regulated and mandatory for most businesses to ensure tax compliance and transparency. The key regulations governing e-invoicing, which is supported through integration with Avalara, include:

NF-e: A mandatory e-invoice for goods and services used in B2B transactions.
NFS-e: Issued for service-based transactions, with implementation varying by municipality.
NFC-e: Used for end consumer transactions.
Integration with SEFAZ: Odoo connects with Avalara to issue the electronic invoices, which must be authorized by SEFAZ and issued with a unique authorization code (Autorização de Uso).
