Mandatory electronic billing for services (NFS-e) has been postponed to September 1 by MEIs (small individual entrepreneurs). Previously, the deadline was set to start on Monday, April 3.
An electronic invoice for services (NFS-e) is a digital document that records service provision transaction information, such as the amount paid, the service provider, and the service provider. NFS-e is created through computerized services that city halls provide to taxpayers, who provide the data needed to issue the document.
The Federal Revenue Service, in partnership with Sebra, has launched the national NFS-e to standardize the tax document form and simplify its issuance. With this service, it is possible to issue an electronic invoice with information such as the customer’s CPF or CNPJ, the type of service provided and the amount of the operation.
Mandatory electronic billing has been deferred
The delay in the mandatory release of NFS-e was not justified. However, the movement is believed to be motivated by the complaint of many MEIs, who have not yet said they are ready.
The new NFS-e has been available since January and small business owners can now start experimenting with issuing their notes there from the site.
Another novelty is that those who are MEI will also be able to bill via cell phone, from the NFS-e app. It is worth noting that the mandatory deadline for issuance is September of this year.
NFS-e certification brings many benefits to companies, such as reduced cost with printing and storing tax documents, streamlining and monitoring of invoicing and the potential to reduce errors in invoicing.
In addition, NFS-e facilitates the work of agency inspectors, who have faster and more accurate access to information.
