The São Paulo Municipal Finance Secretariat has implemented technical updates to the electronic service invoice (NFS-e) issuance system. Effective October 1, 2026, these changes aim to improve data integrity and ensure stricter compliance with municipal tax regulations.

Key updates include new mandatory validations for tax classification, the Brazilian Nomenclature of Services (NBS), and specific rules regarding the IBS and CBS. The ‘Total Invoice Value’ field must now represent the entirety of financial inflows from service provision, including reimbursements for third-party expenses. To deduct these values from the calculation base, they must be reported through referenced documents.

The system will automatically populate the ‘Total Received Value’ (VTR) field based on the total invoice information. Service providers and accounting departments are required to update their management systems (ERPs) to prevent communication failures with the municipal server and avoid document rejections.
