NFC-e, the Nota Fiscal de Consumidor Eletrônica model 65, is Brazil's electronic invoice for retail sales to final consumers. It uses the NF-e layout, is signed by the issuer and authorised by the state tax authority, and the shop prints a DANFE NFC-e with a QR code the consumer can scan to check the sale. Its legal basis is Ajuste SINIEF 19/2016. Klarbon support is planned, not available yet.

Frequently asked questions
What is an NFC-e?
The Nota Fiscal de Consumidor Eletrônica, model 65, the Brazilian electronic document for retail sales to final consumers. It exists only in digital form and is valid through the issuer's digital signature and the authorisation of the state tax authority.
What is the DANFE NFC-e?
A simplified printed summary of the retail sale, printed on an ordinary printer from the NFC-e XML. Its QR code lets the consumer look up the NFC-e on the state tax authority's site.
Is NFC-e the same format as NF-e?
They share the layout and the schemas, defined in the same manual, and are told apart by the model, 55 for NF-e and 65 for NFC-e. The rules for consumers, contingency and the printed form differ.
Can an NFC-e be cancelled?
Yes, by a cancellation event within the deadline in the state rules. The manual also lets an issuer cancel, within 168 hours, an NFC-e that was issued twice and did not cover the sale.
