What's the difference between an inactive, suspended, and closed CNPJ? I get confused.

These are different situations. Inactive (inapto) is when the company failed to file mandatory declarations for an extended period. Suspended is usually something temporary, tied to some pending issue or inconsistency in the registration that needs adjusting. Closed (baixado) is the CNPJ terminated for good, which ceases to exist. Each one requires its own path to fix. TF inter looks at the real status of your CNPJ, explains in simple words where it stands, and tells you what to do. That way you don't waste time addressing the wrong problem, wherever you are on the continent.

My CNPJ became inactive while I was living abroad. How do I resolve this remotely? I have a company in Brazil but live in the United States. Do I need to close the CNPJ or can I leave it idle? I found old debts on my CNPJ (business taxpayer ID). Can I set up a payment plan even while living abroad? How long does it take to reactivate a CNPJ that was flagged by the Receita Federal?
