NF-E 4.0 version will be approved in 2017.

25 January NF-E 4.0 version will be approved in 2017.

THE NF-E 4.0 it will be an update made in view of the need for constant changes that end up accumulating, and demanding a new national version.

This happens because the Secretary of Finance traces, from time to time, small changes that are necessary to be fulfilled. When the government puts all these small changes together, it ends up creating a new complete update, in this case the update to the NF-E version 4.0.

The Secretary of Finance has already published the deadlines for the  change the layout of NF-e 4.0. You can check the dates below:

• Electronic Invoice approval environment 4.0 - 01.06.2017
• NF-E 4.0 production environment - 01.08.2017
• Deactivation of the previous version of the electronic invoice, version 3.10 – 11.06.2017

The main objective of requesting this type of service is to avoid, as much as possible, future maintenance in the various electronic invoice systems. This makes tax processes easier, both for the Secretary of Finance and for companies.

Having seen the last revision carried out in 2014, and if maintained at version “3.10”, companies need to pay attention to the schedule drawn up by SEFAZ for updating the new version of the NF-E 4.0.

There is a period of more than 10 months between the first part of the process (approval) to the last part of the process (deactivation of the previous version), until the electronic invoice 4.0 becomes mandatory.
