Tax Reports. What reports are these?

Day.io’s Tax Reports module provides files required by Brazil’s Ministry of Labour and Employment. These files record punches from REP‑A, REP‑C and REP‑P devices and are supplied during audits.

The available report types are:

• AFD (Data Source File) – a .txt file listing all punches for each employee in the selected period without classifying entry/exit or break. Two models exist: the classic format and the Portaria 671 version.

• AFDT (Processed Data Source File) – shows punches after applying the company’s scheduling rules.

• AEJ (Electronic Workday File) – contains post‑processed data from the REP devices.

• AFD (671) and AEJ (671) – Portaria 671/1486 versions, which can be generated for the entire company or for a specific branch.

Key actions

1. Open the Tax Reports page

   • In the side menu, select Reports then Tax Reports (this option appears only for administrators).
     
     

2. Choose a report type

   • Use the drop‑down to choose AFD, AFDT, AFD (671) or AEJ (671).

Tips or troubleshooting

• Permissions – only administrators can access Tax Reports.

• REP integration – each REP device generates its own AFD; you can export all files from the system.

• Required fields – entering the company’s CNPJ/CPF is mandatory.

• Empty files – if no punches exist in the selected period, the report may be empty.

Best practices

• Generate tax reports whenever requested by auditors.

• Store downloaded files securely.

• Ensure you select the correct subsidiary when using 671 versions.
