Do not plan against a 1% penalty for omitting IBS/CBS fields. Establish the applicable limb of LC 214/2025 art. 341-G for the specific failure, and note that during the adaptive period neither fines nor document rejection apply.
CORRECTION to br-dual-vat-pilot-test-rate-2026 (issue 2026-W27), which recorded that penalties of up to 1% of transaction value per tax would apply from 1 August 2026 for omitting the IBS and CBS fields from electronic fiscal documents. The cited source does not support a penalty of that size or kind: the 1% it describes is the pilot TEST RATE (0.1% IBS plus 0.9% CBS) that documents must carry, and the same page states that during the adaptive period under Ato Conjunto RFB/CGIBS no 1/2025 the absence of IBS and CBS data causes neither fines nor document rejection. The statutory penalty framework for fiscal-document deficiencies is in LC 214/2025 art. 341-G, whose relevant limbs run from 66 to 100 percent of the reference tax value; a 1 percent ceiling exists there only for 'outras hipoteses de infracao', not for IBS/CBS field omission.
