Main features of the e-Tax application

Access management for employees and teams
Organizations can delegate access to their digital accounts to individuals who have a PESEL number, the equivalent of the CPF for individuals in Brasil. Para To carry out this transfer of access, it is necessary to send a formal and appropriate request to the head of the tax office responsible for the registration of taxpayers and payers of the respective entity, ensuring the compliance and security of the process.

The extended level is more comprehensive, allowing users to manage their organization’s account more completely, including the important prerogative of granting and revoking permissions to other users on the team, ensuring flexibility in internal administration.
Currently, all these actions related to access and permissions management can also be carried out conveniently and efficiently directly through the mobile application. Isso gives companies and institutions greater agility and control over who can access and operate their tax information, improving data governance and security.
