Multa por Não Emissão ou Rejeição de NF-e

4 verified sources

Definition

Non-issuance of NF-e or issuance of invoices that do not meet legal/technical requirements triggers administrative fines. Invoices rejected by SEFAZ halt operations until corrected.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: 10–30% of operation value (multa de 10% a 30% do valor da operação) for non-issuance; up to 100% of invoice value for non-compliance with technical/legal requirements
  • Frequency: Per rejected invoice or per month of non-issuance
  • Root Cause: Manual invoice data entry, schema validation errors, missing mandatory fields (CFOP, ICMS details, nature of transaction), incorrect tax calculations for new 2026 CBS/IBS/IS fields

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Business Intelligence and billing platforms operating in Brasil waste R$50,000–R$500,000+ annually per customer due to manual invoice correction cycles and SEFAZ rejection penalties. Automation of invoice XML generation, field validation, and tax calculation logic eliminates 95%+ of rejections before submission.

Affected Stakeholders

CFO/Finance Manager, Tax Compliance Officer, Accounts Payable/Receivable, Billing Operations, System Administrator
