Invoicing Software for Brazil

Before comparing tools, find out which fiscal documents your business has to issue. For services, gov.br's page on issuing the national-standard NFS-e (Brazil; last modified October 29, 2026) states, about the national-standard NFS-e: "O documento gerado possui validade jurídica em todo o território nacional" (our translation: the document it produces is legally valid throughout the country). For goods, the Portal da Nota Fiscal Eletrônica (Brazil; checked October 31, 2026) describes the move from the paper nota fiscal to an electronic one "com validade jurídica para todos os fins" (our translation: legally valid for every purpose). These documents run through official systems, so ask your contador which ones apply to you, and read the Brazil invoicing guide for the detail.

Then look at the tax lines your invoices will carry while the reform is phased in. For 2026, the Receita Federal's guide to the consumption-tax reform (Brazil; updated October 16, 2026) lists the "Ano teste da CBS e do IBS" (our translation: the trial year for CBS and IBS) and says "O montante arrecadado da CBS (0,9%) e do IBS (0,1%) será compensado com o valor devido de PIS e COFINS, no mesmo período de liquidação" (our translation: what is collected as CBS at 0.9% and IBS at 0.1% is offset against the PIS and COFINS owed in the same settlement period).

Worked example, sample figures in Brazilian reais (BRL), worked out by hand: a consultancy bills BRL 4,500.00 for a service in 2026. At the test rates in that quote, the CBS line is BRL 4,500.00 × 0.9% = BRL 40.50 and the IBS line is BRL 4,500.00 × 0.1% = BRL 4.50, so BRL 45.00 in all. Other taxes, such as ISS, aren't included here; your contador can tell you which apply.
