Electronic Invoice (NF-e) in Goiânia
We'll cover the Electronic Invoice (NF-e) in Goiânia. We'll explain simply and objectively so you understand its concept, advantages, legislation, and the process for issuing the Electronic Invoice (NF-e) in Goiânia.
Description of what the Electronic Invoice is
It is an electronic document transmitted over the internet, meant to replace and modernize the old paper-based model. This makes transactions between interested parties faster, bringing several benefits to the issuer, recipient, and tax authorities.
The Electronic Invoice's security system includes a digital signature from the Electronic Invoice's issuer, which serves as a legal and tax guarantee for the recipient.
How the Electronic Invoice was rolled out
To meet Constitutional Amendment 42 of December 19, 2003, tax agencies joined forces and held the National Meetings of Tax Administrators (ENAT).
The main purpose of these meetings was to find joint solutions across the Federal, State, and Municipal Governments that promoted standardization, information quality, administrative integration, reduced workload costs, focusing on effective oversight, with a greater chance of carrying out coordinated, integrated tax actions through the large-scale cross-referencing of tax information.
These meetings led to the development and rollout of the Electronic Invoice.
ICMS Protocols 10/2007 and 42/2009 made using the NF-e mandatory for several sectors of the economy, effective 04/01/2008.
