The year barely started and the Brazilian tax authorities announced new legal changes in the Electronic Nota Fiscal already. We just went through the NFe 4.00 layout few months ago, right? Published in the official gazette in January 2nd, 2019, the Technical Note 2018.005 V1.00 brings new changes to the NFe and NFC-e layouts. The tax authorities have no intention in making those changes less frequent, so be ready to keep up to date on the changes and plan the system changes on time.
Talking about timing, SEFAZ tests environment will be ready for tests in February 25th while this is mandatory in production for May 7th, every company must be ready by then.
The main changes in the Technical Note 2018.005 are:
- Created the concept of Technical Person Responsible and Security Code of Technical Person Responsible (CSRT). Created the group ZD containing the data related to the Technical Person Responsible and their validation rules

Hello,
Do you know if the SEFAZ would be backwards compatible with this note, meaning if we go live before Apr 29 or May 07, will SEFAZ still approve our NFe?

You can start issuing the NF in PRD environment with the 2018.005 changes at any time before Apr 29, but after April 29, only NFs that meet the requirements will be approved
