CFOP number (CA-GTF)

General Application Functions (CA-GTF)

Código Fiscal de Operações e Prestações

A code defined by the Brazilian tax authorities that describes the type of business transaction.

A CFOP number contains information on the good's origin as well as the type of operation, such as sales, returns, stock transfers, or services.

It must be printed on most notas fiscais and it is included in most forms of legal reporting. An exception would be some types of services where CFOP is not required.
