- As of January 1, 2026, the SAT fiscal device is no longer valid in São Paulo; only NFC-e (Electronic Consumer Invoice) is accepted for retail sales.
- Receipts issued via SAT after this date are fiscally invalid, risking audits, penalties, and tax issues for businesses.
- SAT devices are being blocked, and NFC-e issuance with a valid digital certificate is now mandatory.
- NFC-e offers real-time issuance, ERP integration, lower hardware costs, better transparency, and aligns with national standards.
- Businesses must update their systems to support NFC-e or face compliance risks and operational disruptions.
