CNFe

CNFe, or Nota Fiscal Eletrônica de Consumidor Final, is an electronic invoice issued in Brazil for consumer transactions. It is a digital document that replaces the traditional paper receipt, providing a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative. The CNFe is generated by the point of sale (PDV) system and is sent to the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB) for validation and storage. It contains information such as the date and time of the transaction, the items purchased, their quantities, unit prices, and the total amount paid. The CNFe is unique for each transaction and can be used for tax purposes, as well as for consumer protection and dispute resolution. It is also used for electronic fiscal control, ensuring that all transactions are properly recorded and can be audited if necessary. The CNFe is part of the Brazilian government's efforts to modernize the country's tax system and promote digitalization. It is mandatory for businesses to issue CNFe for consumer transactions, and failure to do so can result in penalties. The CNFe is an important tool for both businesses and consumers, providing transparency, security, and convenience in the retail sector.
