- Brazil now allows electronic invoices (NF-e) to be issued through authorized intermediaries called Subscription and Authorization Providers (PAA), per Technical Note 2026.001 (v1.00).
- PAAs handle the technical aspects of invoicing, but legal responsibility remains with the taxpayer.
- A new PAA-specific XML structure (“infPAA”) and dedicated identification rules, including special issuance types and number ranges (series 970–979), have been introduced.
- Only approved providers can be used, with strict technical, validation, and cryptographic requirements; invoices must be processed via the SEFAZ Virtual RS environment.
- The reform aims to simplify e-invoicing for businesses while increasing compliance, security, and standardization.
