e-services invoice


Explanation:
Nota Fiscal de Serviço Eletrônica (NFS-e) = e-services invoice = an invoice issued to cover for a certain provided service.

Nota Fiscal Eletrônica (NF-e) = e-invoice = an invoice issued for any other type of sale.

The difference exists due to the complicated nature of the Brazilian tax system.
