Brazil is advancing the implementation of the National Electronic Service Invoice (NFS-e) system as part of broader tax reforms involving the Goods and Services Tax (IBS) and the Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS).

In early October 2026, a testing phase was conducted in Belo Horizonte involving the Receita Federal and various management committees. This technical validation focused on service taker notes, tax withholdings, electronic powers of attorney, and mandatory issuance for companies under the Simples Nacional regime.

Following these technical developments, individual municipalities are beginning to transition to the national platform. For example, Francisco Beltrão announced that starting November 1, 2026, it will replace its local Equiplano system with the federal NFS-e issuer. This transition applies to all local service providers and aims to increase the agility and reliability of fiscal information through national integration.
