- Nota Fiscal: A standardised fiscal receipt issued for goods and services, typically including detailed tax information and compliance with SEFAZ regulations.

Brazil-Specific Enhancements
QR Code Extraction for Brazilian Receipts and SEFAZ Compliance
In Brazil, many fiscal receipts contain a QR code that links to SEFAZ (Secretaria da Fazenda) systems, providing essential details about the transaction, such as purchase items, taxes, and the issuing entity.
Taggun's QR code extraction feature is specifically designed to handle these requirements:
- Advanced Detection Capabilities: Our API accurately detects and decodes QR codes, regardless of their position or orientation on the receipt. This includes QR codes that are off-centre, skewed, or located in unconventional positions.
- SEFAZ Data Extraction: The QR codes on Brazilian receipts often link to a URL containing detailed sale information. Our API extracts this URL, allowing for easy access to the transaction data for compliance and validation purposes.
NIF Normalisation & Validation
The NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) is the Brazilian tax identification number. Taggun ensures that NIFs are correctly extracted and normalised, providing consistent and accurate data in line with Brazilian fiscal standards.
Document Type Classification
Taggun automatically detects and classifies document types as Nota Fiscal, Cupom Fiscal, or Recibo:
- Stricter rules are applied for fiscal documents (Nota Fiscal and Cupom Fiscal) to ensure compliance with Brazilian regulations.
- If the document type cannot be specifically identified, it defaults to 'Recibo,' indicating a general transaction proof.
