UFIR or UFM?


Explanation:
I believe that there is a typo here because what we have is UFIR: Unidade Fiscal de Referência or Fiscal Reference Unit.
The only other abbreviation with an M is the UFM or Unidade Fiscal do Município or Municipal Fiscal Unit.
Please check your source for the right abbreviation.

Explanation:
First of all I would like to congratulate Telef. Living in India he knows better about Brazil then a lot of brazilians (including myself)

The UFs are an inheritance from the times of hyper-inflation and are meant to preserve the value of the fiscal income.

UFIR is a federal measure, but states and even the biggest municipalities have their own UFs, as Lumen explained above.
