Portuguese term

Nota Fiscal Eletrônica (NF-e)

Portuguese to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs Tax regulations
BRAZIL. This appears along with related terms in a Spanish document I'm translating. Am looking for suggestions for any forms considered "official" or at least consensual for them in English:

"Nota Fiscal Eletrônica (NF-e)”, “Conhecimento de Transporte Eletrônico (CT-e)” or “Nota Fiscal de Serviço Eletrônica (NFS-e)” son modelos de declaración en línea..."

Thanks ... to following up Helena's link, I got to the Wikipedia page for "fatura", which explains the difference between "fatura" and "nota", which was bugging me: "Uma fatura (AO 1945: factura) é um documento comercial que representa a venda para clientes domiciliados em território nacional. No Brasil usa-se também como documento fiscal, quando inclui elementos da legislação fiscal, principalmente as do IPI-ICMS-ISSQN. Nesse caso o formulário denomina-se "nota fiscal/fatura".

This refers to the Brazilian system being implanted, in which invoices are generated online, thus giving real-time information to tax authorities.

Hi Neil, that's definitely not it! Brazil is gradually moving all companies onto digital sales documents. That way the tax man has 100% information on taxes generated - no-one escapes! When we buy over the internet here, the e-Invoice comes by e-mail, as well as accompanying the goods by road, as the law requires. The e-mail version comes as an XML file and also a PDF file. If you want to see one, just let me know.
Note from asker:
Cheers, so far so good. I haven't seen the eInv form before, although if you Google it what comes up is EINV - Equivalent Input Noise Voltage and EINV - Electronic Invent...
