Brazil-specific Requirements
Addresses
Brazilian addresses have 3 subdivisions relevant for tax purposes: bairro (neighbourhood), municipio (municipality) and estado (state). Specify them in GOBL addresses like this:
GOBL Field |
Maps to |
Example |

Salvador |
state |
Estado / State |

"locality": "Centro", // Bairro
"region": "Salvador", // Municipio
"state": "BA", // State

Service Notes
Services notes (NFSe, Notas fiscais de servicio eletrônicas) let service providers document and report the taxes (e.g. ISS) related to the services they provision. Municipal governments regulate them.
Please also see the NFSe Addon package named br-nfse-v1
, which you should include in your documents.

extension.
For example:

"br-nfse-municipality": "2927408"
},
//...
Use the same extension at tax level when the municipality where the ISS is levied differs from the supplier's.
For example:
"lines": [
