What's the difference between NF-e and NFS-e? When do I use each one?

TF Assessor · July 07, 2026

Use the NF-e when you sell a product, merchandise, or something physical. It is a state-level invoice, issued through your state's Sefaz (state tax authority) system. Use the NFS-e when you provide a service, such as consulting or repairs. It is municipal and, in 2026, is also issued through the national portal (nfse.gov.br). If you both sell products and provide services, you may need both. The TF Assessor team reviews your case and sets up the right invoicing for your company.
