What an invoice in Brazil must include
- Your CNPJ (or CPF), legal name and address
- Your client’s CNPJ or CPF, name and address
- Description of the service or goods, quantity and unit price
- Date of issue and total amount
- The tax lines the nota fiscal must show (ISS for services, ICMS for goods)
- The nota fiscal number and verification code issued by the city or SEFAZ
Rules worth knowing
- Brazilian clients need a nota fiscal: NFS-e for services and NF-e for goods, issued through the city or national NFS-e system, not as a PDF. Use this tool for foreign clients, quotes and proformas.
- The national NFS-e standard became mandatory for cities from January 2026 and is being rolled out to Simples Nacional businesses from the second half of 2026; check your city’s portal for your date.
- ISS is set by each city, between 2% and 5% of the service price. Goods carry ICMS instead, which varies by state.
- During 2026 the new CBS (0.9%) and IBS (0.1%) must be shown on notas fiscais as a test; companies that comply are not required to pay them yet.
- To get paid, add your PIX key (CPF, CNPJ, e-mail, phone or random key) to the payment notes. Most Brazilian clients prefer it to a bank transfer.
