The Federal Revenue Office has modernized the process for issuing debt clearance certificates (CNDs), bringing together in a single digital environment all types of certificates previously accessed separately by individuals, legal entities and those related to real estate. The new functionality is available on the Federal Revenue Office Portal and represents an important advance in companies’ tax management.
It is now possible to automatically issue, consult, and validate four types of certificates, including documents issued since 2005 — something that previously required a specific request via e-CAC. This centralization significantly reduces the time spent searching for tax information and brings greater transparency to federal obligations.
End of fragmentation: more agility and control in a single system
Before the change, issuing certificates took longer, depending on the type of document and the nature of the taxpayer. This fragmentation caused delays and increased the chance of errors or oversights.
With the new tool, the consultation can be done publicly and centrally, as long as there are no outstanding tax issues. If there are debts or inconsistencies, the consultation remains available through authentication via e-CAC using the digital certificate of the company or its duly authorized legal agent. Authentication validation has also been improved: It is now possible to check old certificates with just a few clicks, without bureaucracy.
Strategic opportunity for companies with high tax demands
The unification represents an efficiency gain, especially for large companies with complex corporate structures, which frequently need to present certificates in bidding processes, bank renegotiations, inspections and audits, among other situations. The ability to map compliance history since 2005 strengthens compliance, anticipates corrections, and avoids surprises at strategic moments.
Additionally, the tool allows internal teams or service providers to perform recurring checks, reducing the risk of blockages due to expired certificates, omitted statements, or unidentified debts.
Turn the new tool into a competitive advantage
Integrating tax data into a single system increases companies’ monitoring and response capabilities. Those who know how to use the new functionality proactively — maintaining control over their tax history and the validity of certificates — will have greater confidence in closing deals, accessing credit, and protecting their institutional reputation.
