Strategic points
Challenges
Citizens and businesses faced fragmented, paper-based and slow procedures, requiring in-person visits to SEFAZ to issue payment documents, request certificates or check their tax status.
The agency needed a digital, secure and interoperable environment that centralized all taxpayer services, integrated legacy systems and ensured accessibility for individuals and businesses.
Solution
Central IT developed the Taxpayer Service Portal on CITSmart X, a hypercognitive digital government platform. The system integrates more than 30 APIs connected to legacy systems, enabling real-time data exchange and automation.
Services include simplified DAE issuance, DANFE and NFC-e lookup and issuance, tax status inquiries, certificate issuance, IPVA requests and cross-border ICMS declarations. Authentication uses the federal GOV.BR login, and TeleSEFAZ support offers real-time assistance via WhatsApp, chat and Telegram.
