BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

I ACCOUNTING
1. Concept
Accounting is the science that studies the Equity by the economical and finance point
of view, taking into account all the quantitative aspects and all variances inside it.

2. Applications
Accounting is applied in all entities, being a person, a non - profitable entity, or a
company and either a Federal, State or Municipal Public Company.

3. Obligations
"Postings are mandatory by virtue of laws, and through them there is the possibility of
controlling all operations of a company as far as the mandatory tax payments required
to maintain the existence of the State and the yearning of the Society."

4. Accounting Division
Accounting is divided into 5 parts for better understanding:

Assets
Liabilities
Equity
Revenues
Expenses

4.1 Assets

Assets represent all goods and rights of one entity or company, monetarily expressed.
Therefore, assets and the accounts have always a debit nature (DB).
Goods are that, which cause satisfactions to the human being necessities and can be
economically evaluated.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 3

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

From the accounting point of view, you can define goods as everything that a company
has, whether for use, consumption or trade.
Goods of use example:
-

Machinery, equipment, vehicles, installations, etc.

Goods of use are that called as Fixed Assets.


Goods of consumption - example:
-

Stationary, cleaning material.

Those are considered consumption material


Exchanging Goods - example:
-

Inventories for sale and resale.

Those are considered exchanging goods by the characteristics that we exchange


merchandise per money.
Rights are all values that a company will receive from third parties.
Example:
A company sells goods into a long payment terms and then it is not receiving money
upon sales, but constitutes a right of receiving this in near future.
This transaction that allows the company receiving money
Receivable.

is called Accounts

Based on this, we know that one asset represents all the rights and goods expressed
monetarily, increasing values by a FI debit posting (DB).
-

Asset of one company is increased with a debit (DB) and decreased with a
credit (CR)
Increasing posting or debits (DB) appears in the left side of accounting.
Decreasing posting or credits (CR) appears in the right side of accounting.

Below are given some Assets elements:


-

Bank accounts

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 4

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

Cash
Accounts Receivable
Prepaid/Recoverable taxes
Finished Goods
Furniture
Vehicles
Building
Land
Machinery & Equipment

4.2 Liabilities

Liabilities represent all company obligations, i.e., amounts due to third parties.
Example:
A company buys into short payment terms and due to that obligation payment is the
future. This means a payable invoice corresponding to Accounts Payable.
Based on that, we know that one liability represents all the obligations being paid
expressed monetarily, increasing values by a credit posting (CR).
-

Liabilities of one company is increased with a credit (CR) and decreased with a
debit (DB).
Increasing posting or credits (CR) appears in the right side of accounting.
Decreasing posting or debits (DB) appears in the left side of accounting.

Below are given some Liabilities elements:


-

Accounts Payable
Rental/Leasing Payable
Taxes Payables
Salaries Payable
Loans Payable
Interest Payable
Social Contribution Payable

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 5

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

4.3 Equity

Equity represents the owners investments in a company, profits and losses from prior
years and dividends payable to partners.
Equity is the difference between Assets and Liabilities in a certain time.
Example:
Assets..10,000.00
Liabilities5,300.00
Equity..4,700.00
4.3 Revenues

Revenues are understood as all incoming elements to assets, money or rights


receivable generated by goods sold, services performed, rentals or receivable
discounts
Revenue represents always Equity increasing.
Example:
-

General Sales
Services Sales
Rentals Receivable
Interest Receivable
Exchange Gain

Items given above are posting to assets in a monetary form for one company.
-

Revenues are always credit posting (CR)

Posting will be at the right accounting side.


4.4 Expenses

It is understood by expense, the consumption of goods or services that directly or


indirectly produce revenues, i.e., it is the sacrifice which an entity does to be able to
generate revenues. Decreasing in assets or increasing liabilities, expenditure is
undertaken with the purpose of obtaining revenue whose value exceeds that spending
which leads a reduction in equity.

-

Utilities
Rental
Cafeteria
Sales discounts
Bank charges
Taxes expenses
Interest payable

4.5 Brazil tax structure

When talking about direct and indirect taxes to be considered on Notas Fiscais related to
business process, currently Brazil works into three different authority levels for taxation:
Federal, State and Municipal
Federal
To the Federal level we have the following tax types considered as the main ones:
Direct
PIS Withholding tax
COFINS Withholding tax
CSLL withholding tax
IRRF Withholding tax
INSS Withholding tax
Indirect
PIS regular tax Social Integration Program
COFINS regular tax Social Finance Contribution
IPI regular tax Tax on Industrialized products

Rafael Vanderlei

State
ICMS Tax on goods movement
ICMS ST (Surcharge)
Municipal
ISS tax on service
ISS Withholding tax on service
4.6 Nota fiscal Concept

While countries authorities all over of the word require an invoice document in order charge
customer and also declare VAT tax to be collected to the order to cash process, Brazil works
into a different approach. Invoice is replaced into a Nota Fiscal document.
Goods Nota Fiscal
Whatever goods company moves to outside of the company, Nota Fiscal document is required.
Nota Fiscal is something similar to invoice, but the difference in between is about an official
form and layout given by government where every single company which is defined as ICMS
taxpayer must post and print this document out.
On this Nota Fiscal document you have all data related to sender tax payer, customer, goods,
unit and total price, tax base and tax amounts, payment terms, forwarding agent and so on.
As main and important legal requirement, when company posts a good issue immediately that
Nota fiscal document must also be posted.
Brazil Company could never moves goods to outside without posting outgoing Nota Fiscal.
Brazil authorities requires that you as soon as goods issue is posted, COGs and inventory
account must also immediately posted and as Nota Fiscal is immediately required, revenue,
customer and tax to pay must be posted as well.
This means that COGs and revenue must be recognized at the same time.
It is not allowed to send goods to customer through a simple bill of lading document without
goods issue and just post it and invoice when customer confirms goods receipt.
Nota Fiscal is required to every single process which moves goods. It does not matter if process
refers to order to cash, consignment, subcontracting process, free of charge, donation,
samples etc. This is due to tax must be calculated and paid.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 8

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

This happens to goods receipt. When goods receipt is posted, immediately that invoice receipt
must also be posted.
In general rule:
Post goods issue and outgoing invoice/Nota Fiscal must be posted into the same posting date.
Post goods receipt and incoming Invoice/Nota Fiscal receipt must be posted into the same
posting date.
See below a Nota Fiscal document as example.

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

Currently in Brazil Notas Fiscais related to goods, when it is posted, before shipping goods an
electronic approval by the government is required.
Then as soon as billing document is created, an XML file with all invoice data must be sent to
the government and after government approval that Nota Fiscal Document can be printed out.
An approval is recognized by a Protocol Number given by the authority in which must be
printed on that outgoing Nota Fiscal.
Service Nota fiscal
Regarding to Service Nota Fiscal, layout depends on where city service provider is located in.
Due to more than 5000 cities all over Brazil, we may have also about 5000 service Nota Fiscal
layouts.
As there is no goods involvement that NF can be posted any time. Municipal government
requires an electronic one and approval as well.

4.7 Process examples into accounting concepts

After all above explanations given as accounting area is, we can see some examples getting
involved those provided concepts.
a) Raw material purchasing for a finished good production and consequent sale:
Total invoice
Raw material amount
IPI 10% tax rate
IPI tax base amount
ICMS 18% tax rate
ICMS tax base amount
PIS 0,65% tax rate
PIS tax base amount
COFINS 3,0% tax rate
COFINS tax base amount

$ 1,100.00
$ 1,000.00
$ 100.00
$ 1,000.00
$ 180.00
$ 1,000.00
$
6,50
$ 1,100.00
$
30.00
$ 1,100.00

In 99, 9% of purchases for industrialization (raw material) the tax base amount for ICMS/IPI
taxes will be the raw material value. In this case, if the buyer is a taxpayer for both taxes, keep
in mind that credits of those taxes must be taken in incoming fiscal book.
See below how accounting and fiscal books are posted:
-

Accounting posting scheme

Six accounts are involved in this document being five of them asset and one liability.

$ 1,000.00
$ 100.00

No PIS and COFINS taxes information are required in this incoming legal book.
If purchases are not taxed by IPI, PIS and COFINS taxes, accounting follows the same
line and those nontaxable taxes postings are excluded.
Incoming legal books registration shows charges as follows:
Accounting amount
ICMS tax base amount
ICMS tax amount-credit

Incoming legal books registration shows postings as follows:


Accounting amount
ICMS tax other or excluded base
IPI tax other or excluded base

$ 1,000.00
$ 1,000.00
$ 1,000.00

Accounting posting now is the easy one.


Two accounts will be used in this case one for assets and another for liabilities.
(DB) Raw materials inventories (Assets exchanging goods) $ 1,000.00
(CR) - Accounts Payable (Liabilities obligations payable)
$ 1,000.00

As a general rule, every purchases for industrialization (raw material) that will be sold
as a new product, purchase of other indirect materials for production (indirect
material) or resale products, the calculation for accounting purposes becomes very
simple.
Excluding all amounts of existing taxes on Invoice (Nota Fiscal), the remaining amount
to be charged to inventories accounting, will be the total of Nota Fiscal less taxes.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 15

b) Consumption material purchased to be utilized by company. Remember


that from year 2000 on, those purchases, in same cases allow the buyer
takes the ICMS credits registered on its incoming legal books.
Total invoice
Raw material amount
IPI 10% tax rate
IPI tax base amount
ICMS 18% tax rate
ICMS tax base amount
PIS 0,65% tax rate
PIS tax base amount
COFINS 3,0% tax rate

ICMS Recoverable

Accounts Payable

(1) 198.00
(1) 820.00
(DB)

(1) 1,100.00
(CR)

(DB)

Although PIS and COFINS taxes are included in the Nota Fiscal, they are not allowed to
be recovered once material refers to consumption purpose.
c) Services Purchases
This kind of purchase should be related to a production order (Finished Goods) or
direct expense.
One detail on this item, there is no obligation to register Service Nota Fiscal on
Incoming legal books.
Service Nota Fiscal includes sometimes, both taxes being ISS -Services tax- and IRRF
withholding.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 16

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

Example:
NF Service amount
ISS tax rate 5%
ISS tax base amount
IRRF WHT tax rate 1,5%
IRRF WHT base amount

$ 1,000.00
$
50.00
$ 1,000.00
$ .15.00
$ 1,000.00

In this situation two liabilities accounts and one asset account will be utilized. If the
material refers to production of finished goods, an asset account will be necessary or if
you are purchasing for consumption an expense account must be utilized.
Examples:
1 Production:
DB Production order/Inventories (Asset exchanging goods)
$ 1,000.00
CR Vendor accounts payable (Liabilities obligations payable) $ 985.00
CR IRRF withholding payable (Liabilities obligations payable) $
15.00
Production Order
(2)
1,000.00
(DB)

Accounts Payable

(1) 985.00
(CR)

IRRF WHT Payable

(2) 15.00
(CR)

Take into consideration that ISS on incoming invoice is not registered in


incoming legal books due to that is a municipal tax and this tax is not into the
non- cumulative concept, i.e., debit outgoing and credit incoming(See
explanation on tax rule structure and calculation topic)

The payment to vendor is net of IRRF (WHT), as such tax will be paid to the
federal government through a document called DARF.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 17

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

If the above purchase will be consumed, postings are the same above but
replacing account Production order into General expenses.

Below is given some examples showing sales/distribution(O2C) behavior.


d) Sales for resale or industrialization with IPI/ICMS.
Amount on outgoing Nota Fiscal
Goods amount
IPI 10% tax rate
IPI tax base amount
ICMS 18% tax rate
ICMS tax base amount
PIS 0,65% tax rate
PIS tax base amount
COFINS 3,00% tax rate
COFINS tax base amount

$ 1,100.00
$ 1,000.00
$ 100.00
$ 1,000.00
$ 180.00
$ 1,000.00
$
6.50
$ 1,100.00
$
30.00
$ 1,100.00

In most of the purchases, almost 99, 9%, are done for resale or industrialization so the
IPI/ICMS tax base amount will be the goods value. In this case if the seller or vendor is
a taxpayer for both taxes, register of debit on Outgoing legal books and credit on
Incoming legal books are mandatory.
See below how accounting posting behaves:
-

Accounting posting scheme:

This FI posting contains eleven accounts, being two for assets, four for liabilities, four
for expenses and one for revenue.

5. -Concept for CFOP, Legal Books and tax rule related to


Accounting
Accounting seems to be a complicated business technic , when we have the first
contact, since this practice drives user to a confusion at the moment of debiting or
crediting , assets , liabilities, revenue and expenses accounts.
One of the best ways to understand this process, after analyzing accounting concepts,
what is the nature of involved accounts in that transaction or process.
After that you can do the right accounting classification and have the postings applied.
Another very important point is about de CFOP. These codes will be utilized always
associated to a Nota Fiscal either outgoing or incoming.
5.1 CFOP Codes

(*) Codigo Fiscal de Operaes = Codes for fiscal operational process.


These codes have a great importance in both books account or fiscal, since they
determine if the transaction is a purchase of a raw material, consumption material or
service, etc. Starting with these codes, it will be easy identifying how to proceed
accounting classification and posting to accounts.
CFOP table is controlled by SINIEF Federal Fiscal and Economics Information System,
which regulates the States legislations in one common rule referring to ICMS tax.
Therefore this procedure is applied for all Brazilian States in the same way, so there is
no difference among them, stating that all transactions foreseen for ICMS taxes are
defined in this table and must be applied in any place in Brazil.
SINIEF Table is composed by:
-

Incoming
Outgoing

For better understanding, we will start with outgoing and then incoming transactions.
We need to keep in mind that identifying, incoming transaction naturally we will be
able to define accounting classification and posterior accounting posting.

Rafael Vanderlei

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

5.2 Outgoing CFOPs

Outgoing invoices are classified as per following codes:


-

5.000 Goods or services sales inside the State;


6.000 Goods or services sales to other States;
7.000 Goods or services sales - Exports.

5.000 Goods or services sales inside the State.


This code must be applied when sales transaction takes place in the same State of
customer and sender.
Still for this code, according to CFOP table, three more digits must be added, which
identifies the correct outgoing transaction.
Example:
Sale of one good produced by the sender to a customer in the same State the right
code to be applied is:
5.000 + 101 = 5.101 Sales of production from company inside the State.
A resale of goods by sender to a customer in the same State the right code to be
applied is:
5.000+ 102 = 5.102 Resale of goods acquired from third parties inside the State.
6.000 - Goods or services sales to other States.
This codification has the same rules used for 5.000 codes and the only difference is
that the sender and the customer are in different States, so taxation has other rule.
7.000 - Goods or services sales - Exports.
This codification has the same rules used as above codes (5.000/6.000) and the
differences are sender country, destination country and taxation.

Taxation breakdown:
-

Inside State transactions (5000) rates are 17% or 18% according State
legislation.
Transactions among different States, legislation ruled taxation as follows:
Transactions among States South/Southeast (SP, MG, RJ, PR, SC, RS)-rate
applied is 12%.
Transactions among State North/Northeast, including Espirito Santo state
rate applied is 7%.

Transactions with other countries destination - taxation will be suspended or


exempted.

5.3 Incoming CFOPs

Incoming and outgoing transactions are also related to each other because for nature
determination on incoming we need to know the outgoing nature, informed on Nota
Fiscal and goods application at the buyer company. With this information on hands we
are able to define which accounting classification and registers.
Incoming is controlled by codes as follows:
-

1.000 Incoming or services acquisitions inside State;


2.000 Incoming or services acquisitions outside State;
3.000 - Incoming or services acquisitions Imports;

Lets take a look on the following:


A purchase of a good (merchandise) produced by the Nota Fiscal sender to one
taxpayer inside the same State (5.101).
Besides the nature on the Nota Fiscal, be sure what is the usage of purchased
product.
If this product has its destination to produce another one, you are purchasing a raw
material.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 27

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

The incoming nature would be:


1000 codes
1000 + 101 = 1.101 Raw material purchase inside State;
Please verify rules or tax credits in Fiscal Books.
If purchase destination is for consumption:
1000 + 556 = 1.556 = Purchase of consumption material inside State.
Please verify rules or tax credits in Fiscal Books.
Fixed Assets purchases:
1000 + 551 = Fixed Assets purchases inside State.
Please verify rules or tax credits in Fiscal Books.
Resale purchases:
1000 + 102 = 1.102 = Resale purchases inside State.
Please verify rules or tax credits in Fiscal Books.
2000 code
Same codes are applied for codification purchases as above 1000 and differences
are that, the Nota Fiscal sender is in another State and taxation.
3000 code
Same codes are applied for codification purchases, as above, indicating that are
imports.
Purchases taxation will be explained as below:

5.4 ICMS tax-rate determination rule

ICMS tax rates determination is defined also through that same SINIEF agreement
signed up by all States.
Tax rates rule were given as follow:
-

Transactions inside the same State (1000), 17 or 18% are applied according
State legislation.

Taxation transactions among other States, according to legislation are as follows:


-

Transactions among South/Southeast region States (SP, MG, RJ, PR, SC, RS)
12% rate is applied.
Transactions from North/Northeast/Middle West, including Espirito Santo
state to South/Southeast regions 12% rate are applied.
Transactions from South/Southeast regions to North/Northeast/Middle West
7% rate are applied.
Incoming transactions from other countries, the internal rate of the State
where the merchandise is cleared.

In order to have a better understanding, see pictures given below:

By grouping those States into regions, government was able to harmonize ICMS
taxation based on region with same characteristics and also its own development.
Then, 5 regions were defined.

5.5 Legal book for taxes


Regarding to incoming and outgoing Notas Fiscais (Invoices), there are four main
required books.
Incoming legal books Model 1 or 1/A Refers to all incoming Notas Fiscais
Outgoing legal books Model 2 or 2A Refers to all outgoing Notas Fiscais
Statutory legal books Model 8 Refers to IPI tax reconciliation (Credit and debit
postings). Settling and amounts on it must be the same on incoming and outgoing legal
books (Models 1-1/A and 2-2/A).
Statutory legal books Model 9 Refers to ICMS tax reconciliation (Credit and debit
postings). Settling and amounts on it must be the same on incoming and outgoing legal
books (Models 1-1/A and 2-2/A).
CFOP rules and consequent posting in incoming and Outgoing legal books, are valid for
States only, i.e., for transactions involving ICMS tax.
Talking about IPI, although that tax refers to Federal authority, its posting appears on
that fiscal books being relevant to the Federal auditors which utilize also that book in
order to control IPI tax.
IPI taxation (Tax on industrialized products), takes into account essentialness of goods,
and rates goes from reduced rate 0% (zero) to 300 %( three hundred percent).
TIPI (IPI Table) must be followed for goods classification and its respective rate.
Before we finish this concept, part of this work, it is very important remembering that
all taxes related to postings in fiscal incoming or outgoing legal books must reflect and
be the same posted in general ledger in accordance to the rules given:
The way to express posting on fiscal books is different in accounting. Although it
seems to be confusion, if we go in a more accurate analysis, we can understand it
easily what difference they have.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 32

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

When, talking about a transaction of an incoming good on incoming fiscal book, each
transaction which has the characteristic of tax appropriation posting is:
-

On fiscal books = Credit posting;


On accounting = Debit Recoverable taxes (Assets).

When talking about a transaction of an outgoing good on outgoing fiscal book, each
transaction which has de characteristic of tax appropriation posting is:
-

On fiscal books = Debit posting;


On accounting = Credit Tax to pay (Liabilities).

Therefore, the amount of account Recoverable taxes in accounting must be the same
of the column of the incoming legal books named Tax credit.
The amount of the account named Tax to pay must be the same of the column of the
outgoing legal books named Tax debit.
The difference between those two accounts must be exactly the amount payable to
government agency or keep this amount to be recovered next month, in case credit in
incoming legal books is greater than outgoing one.
Summarizing:
-

All credits in incoming legal books , are debits in accounting;


All debits in outgoing legal books are credits in accounting.

Inventory legal books:


All stock movements posted through incoming or outgoing processes must be posted
in a legal books name Model 3.
All stock balance Inventory legal books Model 7.
*All mentioned legal books are required in piece of paper into a monthly basis.
Besides those mentioned legal books there are also 3 main magnetic files referring to
transaction performed a long the month and year as given:

Definition:
Raw material is a good purchased to be industrialized resulting in a new product to be
sold, i.e., one or various raw materials will be transformed in a new product.
Example
To produce a finished good called A youll need two other materials considered B
and C which is called raw materials.
As a general rule, a company which has this kind of transaction is considered an
ICMS/IPI taxpayer, i.e., it has the right of credits of those taxes on raw materials
purchases and debit also of those taxes at the sales moment. (Non-cumulative).

Remarks:
If purchase is from another State (6.101/6.102) or from another country (7.101/7.102)
you just change the first digit of the CFOP, from 1(1.556) to 2(2.556) or 3(3.556) and
verify the ICMS rate and proceed with the same rule for posting.
If CFOP 5.102, 6.102 or 7.102 (Resale material) procedures are same as prior above,
taking into account taxes included on Nota Fiscal.
If the purchase of consumption material placed from other State, it has to be taken in
the differential rate. If a purchase is 12% tax rate interstate, internal rate should be
taken by the state where goods will be consumed and apply the differential.
Example:
If a Nota Fiscal with 12% is shipped to Sao Paulo, it must be calculated 6% as
difference, because the internal rate for this state is 18%.
Accounting for this value will be:

posted in inventory against vendor account
Remarks:
If this purchase is placed to a vendor in another State (6101) or other Country (7101),
simply change the first number CFOP 1 (1101) to 2 (2101) or 3 (3101), check the tax
rate, and proceed with the same techniques of postings.
If CFOP is 5102, 6102 or 7102 (Resale products), the procedure becomes the same as
the previous example, observing only the taxes listed in the Nota Fiscal.
4.0 - Raw material purchasing with ICMS surcharge (ICMS Substituio Tributria)
Definition:
It is a normal purchase of goods where the use of it may be both for industrialization
(raw material) and for own use (consumption).
What is a tax surcharge?
It is another taxation rule defined by authority in order to control some tax payer in
certain region in which government has some difficult to assist if taxes are correctly
paid.
As a general rule, who absorbs any existing tax in a Nota Fiscal or product is the "end
user".
Therefore, some establishments, although registered as taxpayers in the State
Department of Finance, do not collect ICMS or even pay for estimation scheme,
booklet or monthly (not cumulative).

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 44

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

A classic example of this operation are the cafes, bars, restaurants and gas stations
that have tax collections ruled by surcharge and when selling some products such as
beer, soft drinks, fuel, etc., Nota Fiscal is issued to the consumer and this one is not a
regular Nota Fiscal but to sales to consumer serie "D". On this Nota Fiscal there is no
existence of taxes.
Thus, the government created a rule for ICMS surcharge by delegating the
responsibility to the sender to calculate, include in Nota Fiscal and finally pay to
government on behalf of customer.
There are also cases where the government collects tax for transactions between
states and by type of goods. This is the case of pharmaceutical products, pneumatic,
cement, beans, and so on.
For companies that purchase products for their manufacturing process (raw material)
with this characteristic, they are not allowed to the credit of the ICMS surcharge,
unless if the finished product manufactured is subjected to that ICMS surcharge when
it is sold.

For raw materials purchases entitled to Surcharge credit where there is no incidence of
IPI but ICMS only, the accounting follows the same way, excluding IPI entries only.
In addition to the Nota Fiscal data, entries in incoming legal books should behave as
follows:
CFOP Code= 1401 - Raw material purchase inside State (Surcharge)
Accounting amount
= $ 2,200.00
ICMS tax base amount

For raw materials purchases related to Surcharge Tax credit where there is no
incidence of ICMS / IPI, accounting follows the same way, excluding only IPI/ICMS
entries.
In incoming legal books, these entries behave as follows:

Accounting posting for this case becomes simple. It excludes entries of ICMS /ICMS
surcharge and IPI. As mentioned, in case no ICMS regular tax, nothing to do with ICMS
surcharge.
If this purchase is placed to a vendor from another State (6401) or other Country
(7401), simply change the first digit CFOP 1 (1401) to 2 (2401) or 3 (3.41), check tax

taken by the state where goods will be consumed and apply the differential.
Example:
If a Nota Fiscal with 12% is shipped to Sao Paulo, it must be calculated 6% as
difference, because the internal rate for this state is 18%.

Definition:
This situation occurs when a taxpayer ICMS / IPI acquires raw materials from a supplier
considered Micro Company or non IPI taxpayer. This business model is not
sponsoring
the
IPI,
but
only
the
ICMS.
Thus, when the purchase of raw material for finished goods production takes place, if
that finish goods is obligated to pay IPI when selling, Brazil law allows IPI tax credit of
50% on vendor invoice amount considering the following criteria:
a-) what is the classification of this material in TIPI (IPI table).
b-) what rate is determined in this table for this material.
c-) Applying percentage of 50% on Nota Fiscal total amount.

.
Definition:
The purchase of services is not regulated by the ICMS authority but then by Municipal
one.
The tax assigned to this operation is called ISS (tax on service). It is determined
according to the Organic Law of each municipality that exists in Brazil.
The ISS (Tax on service) is a non-cumulative tax, i.e., tax credit through incoming
purchase by debiting through outgoing as given to ICMS / IPI/PIS and COFINS taxes.

8.0 Purchases return to Suppliers:


Concept:
Returns to suppliers occurs whenever a purchase, either raw material or consumption
material, did not meet the desires of the buyer. This occurs by various situations:
Incorrect Price
Incorrect material specification
Material not in accordance with purchase order.
Trade conditions in dispute etc.
Returns may occur in two situations:
With same supplier invoice, or
With the buyer invoice.
With same supplier invoice
Returning with the same vendor invoice for legal purposes, when buyer receipts goods,
if any disagreement about situations given above is faced, buyer must make a
statement on the back of vendor Nota Fiscal by informing that real disagreement
reason.
With buyer
It is important to remember that if the receiver stamps date of entry on the invoice, it
is mandatory post goods receipt and just later on post its own nota fiscal returning
goods to the vendor.
When that returns refers to a raw material, it should be observed the taxes in the
suppliers Nota Fiscal at the time of entry and the same values must be reversed in
accounting and legal books, i.e. the values of ICMS and IPI taxes should appear in the
respective outgoing legal books columns
On outgoing posting, only ICMS tax must be printed on the appropriated field. IPI
amount must be informed on the NF additional information, although IPI tax posting in
account is also reversed.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 56

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

When return refers to a consumption material, the value of the IPI must be also
informed on the NF additional information. In this case, there is no IPI amount to
reverse in accounting and legal books side, once there was no IPI tax to recover during
post goods receipt.
It should also contain in the body of the returning Nota Fiscal, the number of original
incoming Nota Fiscal of that material.

reverse.

9.0- Stock transfer order (Between plants);
Concept:
Transfer of goods is always between two plants belonging to the same company code.
When we talk about this type of operation, we must always associate it with an Nota
Fiscal so that goods can be moved. If there is movement of goods, a Nota Fiscal is a
mandatory document due taxes rules.
The legislation requires that the value of this transaction is at least that last inventory
moving average price.
There are several different types of transfers: - Transfer for manufacturing,
consumption and for reselling.
In the case of stock transfer for industrialization, it can be subjected to the tax payment on
Nota Fiscal,
In some cases legislation excludes the tax payment.

10.0 Freight Nota Fiscal-Transportation (CTRC)
Definition:
CTRC is a document used only by carriers, which its purpose is to collect any
transportation service provided to a person or company.
This kind of service was not previously recognized by State authorities as the collection
of the ICM, as the name itself says, ICM was "Tax on goods movement.
On 1989, government changed this into ICMS, "Tax on goods movement & service".
This service at the end refers to a transportation service provided by any forwarding
agent and ICMS tax is collected by the State where the service is performed
Because of the difficulty of controlling these carriers, the state of Sao Paulo authorities
charged the responsibility of payment of ICMS to the service buyer now named "ICMS
tax surcharge (ST)"
Therefore, the responsibility for the collection of this tax will always be by the service
buyer, i.e., that one who purchases the service.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 62

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

There are two types freight service:


- Purchase of transport services without ICMS Tax Surcharge and
- Purchase of transport services with ICMS Tax Surcharge.
For both cases carrier must post a CTRC document (Nota Fiscal type for carriers)
related to the provided transportation service.
The purchase of transport services without ICMS Tax Surcharge is that one in which the
carrier has already calculated and paid ICMS to the government and service buyer
should consider that amount for accounting and incoming legal books.
The purchase transportation service with ICMS Tax Surcharge is that one where the
buyer has to calculate and post ICMS tax amount in accounting and in incoming legal
books. Immediately to that posting, a reversal one must be done in accounting and
legal books model 9-ICMS statutory ICMS clearing.
The legislation also allows that when purchasing these services, instead of posting each
CTRC document the service buyer can issue single incoming Nota Fiscal, considering all
CTRC documents given a month and make a single entry.
Transportation services may be related to purchases of raw materials, consumption
material and finished product.
If CTRC is related to purchase of raw materials or finished goods, the service buyer
must post the freight amount in the inventory account charging that material originally
purchased or sold as part of product cost.
In general, the ICMS tax rate for freight service is:
12% for internal operations
12% for interstate operation from South to Southeast
12% for interstate operation from Southeast South
12%for Interstate operation from South or Southeast to North or Northeast
7% for Interstate operation from North or Northeast to South Southeast.

11.0 - Returnable Packaging


Definition:
It is a product type to accommodate another product during transportation.
There is also the case for the packing in consignment, where the sender is the owner of
products being manufactured by third parties.
These packages are part of the sender assets, which are under the same physical and
financial control.
Shipment of packaging occurs along with the sale of a product, i.e., it is packaging the
material to be sold.
An example for easy understanding, are pallets that follow with the goods and
thereafter should return to the vendor
To do so, this operation has two CFOP Codes for a single Nota Fiscal: The CFOP Code of
sale (5.101, 6.101, 5.102, 6.102, etc...) and the CFOP Code for the shipping package
(5.949, 6.949 and so on ...)

12.0 - Purchase for Future Delivery


Concept:
This operation occurs when the buyer makes a purchase from a particular production
line at a supplier during a period of time.
It can also occur when due to physical space issue the buyer guides the vendor to do
partial deliveries on daily, weekly or monthly basis.
Initially there is the issuance of a simple billing Nota Fiscal charging IPI tax only.
Referring to ICMS tax, it should be calculated and pay only in the physical movement of
goods as required by the regulation.
Still on the ICMS tax, tax base amount and its tax amount, may change if there is
economic instability in the country.
Each state must create a currency for indexing these values. In case of Sao Paulo, State
the created currency was that one named UFESP (Fiscal Unit of the State of Sao Paulo).
Rules are as follows:
The value of goods of the first Nota Fiscal (Simple Billing) will be divided by that UFESP
exchange rate given on that Nota Fiscal posting date. This NF refers to accounts
receivable and legal books only. No goods movement is done.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 70

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

On the effective date for shipping the goods (day, month or year), the value for UFESP
(previous calculation result) will be multiplied by UFESP of the day of issuance of Nota
Fiscal. This calculation is applicable only to find the calculation basis and value for
ICMS.
COGS and inventory postings are also take into consideration.
Example:
First Nota Fiscal CFOP 5116 - Sales for future delivery (single billing),
Nota fiscal total amount of $ 2,000.00 without ICMS / IPI.
UFESP value given for the day of issuance of the simple billing =

1.17

$ 2,000.00 / 1.17 = 1709.401709 UFESP


Second Nota Fiscal - 5922 Shipment with delivery date two months later after billing.
We must remember that this product entitled to be taxed by IPI , this will be provided
at billing invoice (Nota Fiscal) , but mandatory in the Nota Fiscal for deliverance .
As an example, will use 10% IPI tax rate.
First of all lets find the ICMS tax base amount.
UFESP value for that shipment day = 1.21
Results of prior calculation- UFESP = 1709.401709 * 1.21 = $ 2,068.38
Therefore, the value of Nota Fiscal is as follows:
Nota Fiscal value
Value of goods
ICMS tax base amount
ICMS tax amount 18%
IPI tax base amount
IPI tax amount 10%

= $ 2,200.00
= $ 2,000.00
= $ 2,068.38
= $ 372.31
= $ 2,000.00
= $ 200.00

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 71

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

On Nota Fiscal body must be informed for each simple Nota fiscal this process refers
In case UFESP exchange rate does not change when posting that second Nota Fiscal,
amount must remain the same.
12.1 Purchases for future deliverance:
We will use the previous example to observe the tax and accounting entries.

Remarks:
If this purchase is placed to a vendor from another State (6.116) or other Country
(7.116), simply change the first digit CFOP 1 (1.116) to 2 (2.116) or 3 (3.116),

2.922 or 3.922.
If CFOP Code is 5.116, 6.116 or 7.116 (Goods resale for future delivery), the procedure

13.0 - Subcontracting or remittance for Industrialization

Reason of this process occurs when the production capacity of a particular business is
lower than the demanded quantity of products, i.e., the sales orders of one or more
products ordered by customers, is higher than production capacity.

Rafael Vanderlei

So the vendor sends raw material CFOP equal to 5.901, 6.901 or 7.901 to another
company which in turn will charge only the raw material more labor applied to this
industrialization. On the amount of that raw material will be charged ICMS, while IPI is
applied only when this applied material is produced by the vendor itself.
For that applied labor ICMS and IPI are not applied.
When that symbolic raw material returns , it may be contained in a single Nota Fiscal
along with that buyer raw material sent before and other materials applied by the
vendor, but it should be noted two CFOPs 5.902, 6.902 or 7.902 and with 5.124, 6.124
or 7.124.
In the remittance of this material, to the same state, ICMS/IPI is suspended / deferred,
whereas when remittance is to another state, IPI is mandatory.
When the shipment without taxes, it is mandatory that in body Nota Fiscal a legal text
law should be mentioned as ruled by law.
When you remit goods and charge any tax you are entitled to recover these taxes at
the returning
If in the remittance there were no taxes, they should be calculated and paid if the
mentioned materials did not return within 180 days.

In most cases, in Nota Fiscal of material and labor applied, only the ICMS is charged as
the raw material applied is not produced by the manufacturer.
In cases where the return, material and labor applied, are collected in separate, the
process becomes the same, but the symbolic return Nota Fiscal should be posted first.
If the return and industrialization are partial, the accounting is made the same way,
observing however, only partial quantities.

14.0 - Consignment Sale


Concept:
This operation occurs when a particular company will not pay immediately the goods
purchased for resale or industrialization, due to high financial disbursement,
considering that the sale or production of these products could be time-consuming or
even high inventories turnover.
If the company makes a contract with the seller to sell goods under consignment,
which means that regardless of the amount issued as a consignment, the issuer may
issue Nota Fiscal collecting it under buyer authorization.
If the seller issues a consignment Nota Fiscal of 100 pieces of a product, no sale
occurred at this time, but a commitment by the recipient when the effective sale of
these products or consumption occurs, the seller may issue a called sales Nota Fiscal
and collect it
If there is no any sale of the goods, the buyer may return these products without any
onus to pay.
.
Remember that when this process occurs, the taxes values must be paid in the first
shipment on consignment Nota Fiscal (5.917, 6.917 or 7.917).
For this process, there will be two Notas Fiscais, being the first with the consignment
remittance (5.917, 6.917 or 7.917) with the appropriate tax (ICMS / IPI) and the
second, as product sales prior sent on consignment (5.111,6.111 or 7111) without tax

15.1 - Third Part sales


Concept:
This transaction occurs when a particular company sells a product to its customer, but
did not have the goods for delivery. So that company creates a purchase order to a
supplier for the goods to be delivered to the said customer to which the sale occurred
first.
Example:
Lets take in into account 3 different sites, A, B and C.
"B" sells but does not have the goods for delivery, but sells to "C which will receive
only one Nota Fiscal of sale order (single billing) with their taxes and nature 5.118,
6.118 or 7.118.
"B" sends a purchase order for "A" requesting that the said material must be delivered
physically to "C".
In this case, "B" only waits for a sale Nota Fiscal from A in which this will be stated the
number of Nota Fiscal issued for shipping.

15.14 - Sale on Account and Order for Industrialization
This operation is quite similar to the previous ones, and what changes is that the
transaction is done among the three companies.
It occurs for example when "B" buys a particular material from "A", and shall remit to the
"C", and then B shall issue a Nota Fiscal of remittance for industrialization to the "C".

So "A" shall issue a Nota Fiscal of sale by the order (symbolic) with all taxes to "B" and
a Nota Fiscal of remittance on behalf and with all the prerequisites outlined above.
Then "B" shall issue a Nota Fiscal of remittance for industrialization to "C"
(Subcontractors), then closing the transaction among the three companies.

16.00 - Complementary Nota Fiscal
The Supplementary Nota Fiscal always occurs when the value of a goods was charged
less than the previously traded price, or when the values of lower taxes were charged.
Both situations should be included in the body of the Nota Fiscal, data concerning the
first Nota Fiscal in which it was issued with errors.
If pricing supplement, should be observed if in the first Nota Fiscal taxes ICMS / IPI
were calculated normally, because they should be recalculated again.
When processing the incoming of this document , if the Nota Fiscal was previously
issued crediting of ICMS / IPI, the amount of taxes should be deducted from the total
complement, and the difference will be posted in the in the inventory account versus
recoverable ICMS / IPI
If supplementary Nota Fiscal is a purchase related to material for use and
consumption, applies the same criteria but excludes the IPI for the purpose of credit.
If the supplementary Nota Fiscal is only of ICMS, it is not generating a posting in
accounts payable, because ICMS is added tax to the product and the same was
included in the value of the goods previously
When processing incoming of this document, if the Nota Fiscal previously issued was
of credit of ICMS, the value of the complement should be deducted from the inventory
account / expenditure against ICMS to recover.

Rafael Vanderlei

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

If supplementary Nota Fiscal is of IPI, it will be generating a posting in accounts payable


because the tax does not have features like the ICMS, or whether it is charged out of
the value of the goods. When processing the incoming of this document, the value of
the supplement should be recorded in the IPI to be recovered versus Accounts
Payable.
Remember that for purchases of materials for use and consumption, do not permit IPI
credit.

17.0 Importation purchasing


Concept
Import is any purchase coming from other country .This operation occurs for two
reasons:
When the national prices are higher than outside prices, or when there is lack of a
Brazilian manufactured product.
Regardless of the material for industrialization, resale or consumption material, ICMS
tax base amount will always be the value of the goods plus IPI.
Government has determined this rule in order to control the trade balance, as
hindering the purchase of imported materials, it means there are less dollars outgoing
from Country, while on the other hand on exports, Government gives benefits to the
taxpayer with non-payment of taxes on sales abroad, which means more dollars
inflows to the Country
17.1 Purchases for Industrialization - Imports

calculated and paid at the custom when goods arrived and later on cleared
(*)Then, based on that clearance process broker prepare every data so that tax can be

18:00 Inventory counting.
Concept:
Inventory counting is a required law practice, where companies should on the last day
of the fiscal year (12) count all its physical materials in inventory and verify that these
quantities are absolutely equal to the balance of each material recorded in inventory
legal book.
During the financial year, there were several inbound and outbound deliveries of
goods being performed from purchasing or sale side, and the final balance in the
inventory legal book should be exactly equal the amount computed by the counting of
inventory.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 99

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

This process should be officially done once a year and it must be accompanied by
external auditing company, where the irregularities found should be available to the
fiscal authorities for further analysis through reports developed by the auditors.
The irregularities become important because they cause significant effects in profit
and loss, where these differences could affect corporate income tax payment or
increase the values of expenses relating to costs, which would also be changing the
basis for calculating the tax
The technique works as follows:
If the physical count sheets of a material is greater than that recorded in the
inventories book register, means you have more materials in stock than registered, so
you need to readjust to balance in both side either physically and fiscally.
In this situation, you have to make an entry in the amount of difference in its fiscal
inventory, which means making a journal entry where you will be involving the
inventory account versus an account, that in this case is one o profit and loss and will
be a revenue account that will be offering a credit to the corporate income tax.
If the form of physical count of a particular material is lower than that recorded in the
book inventory record, means you have less material in stock that is registered, so you
need to readjust the balance so that it is both physically and equal fiscally.
In this situation, you have to make an adjustment in physical inventory , which means
making a journal entry where you will be involving the inventory account versus your
profit and loss and it will be an expense account, which is changing company
corporate income tax.
The journal entry of expenses and revenue will be represented by an account called
inventory adjustment, where the balance of this account is that will determine
whether to offer the taxation of corporate income tax or increasing the costs changing
the calculating basis and collection of the corporate income tax
18.1 - Adjustment Inventory Incoming
Let's imagine a situation where after the physical count of a given material there is a
difference of 20 pieces higher than in inventory as compared to inventory book
register. Difference value represents $ 10,000.00.

After these entries, you must determine the balance of the inventory adjustment
account to make sure that this value being charged to income or expense, i.e., will be
paid more or less income tax.
In the above case, the situation is an addition to the corporate income tax as the
account balance is a credit of $ 5,000.00, which means that the value of the expenses
is lower than the offered revenue.
If instead the value of expenses would be $ 5,000.00, which would be deducted from
revenues earned during the period for the purpose collecting income tax also.
The only difference is that the more you increase costs, lower becomes the basis for
corporate income tax.
Remember that the IRS understand that during the operation of business , the
company is manipulating results with the intention of evading the tax, it may arbitrate
the said corporate income tax.

1.0 - Sales for Industrialization


Concept
A sale for industrialization occurs when the buyer of goods will use this product to
manufacture other products for future sale.
For this process, the ICMS/IPI tax base amount will always be the value of the
merchandise.
In our examples below, remember that the values of PIS / COFINS are not highlighted
in Nota Fiscal but appear in our postings, that because they have already been made in
the sales price gross up.

= $ 10,000.00
= $ 1,800.00
= $ 10,000.00
=$
65.00
= $ 300.00

Note that in 99.9% of cases, when the goods are for industrialization or
commercialization, the calculation basis of ICMS / IPI will always be the value of the
merchandise.
In this situation, if the issuer or seller of the goods is a taxpayer for both taxes, we
must remember that the debts should be recorded in outgoing legal books because
the credits in the Incoming legal book.

Remarks:

follows:

If sales are destined for other states, the CFOP Code will be 6.101 and 7.101 will be to
other countries.
It should be noted also taxation, as foreign sales (7.101) is given benefits by
Government of non-payment of taxes (ICMS, IPI, PIS and PIS).
In case of resale, should be observed that the CFOP's rather than 5.101, 6.101 or 7.101,
will use 5.102, 6.102 or 7.102 beyond the forms of taxation.
2:00 Sales for consumption
Concept:
Sales for consumption occur when the buyer of a particular commodity will be using it
for their own consumption.
Note that in this case, the IPI tax base amount remains the same as sale for
industrialization, but the ICMS basis becomes different, i.e., value of goods plus the
portion of IPI.

6.0 - Sales with freight
Concept:
This operation occurs when in the sale of the finished goods exists the carrier figure.
Besides the values in Nota Fiscal, may also be included or not, the amount of freight.
According to current legislation, both ICMS and IPI will be calculated adding the value
of freight in its calculating basis; it should form the basis of calculation of ICMS and IPI.
If in the same Nota Fiscal values regarding packaging and insurance, they must be part
of ICMS tax base amount and IPI
Another possibility is when the freight is charged separately from the NF, i.e., this value will be
charged by carrier to the recipient or sender of the goods. This collection shall be made to one
who was responsible for paying the freight

If the receiver or seller, carrier shall issue CTRC charging the value of service transport.
The receiver or seller should proceed in accordance with topic 10.0 incoming
procedures.

Concept:
The sale of service occurs when a particular company is has its main activity sales of
service. There are companies that in addition to sales of products, also have activity of
sales service.
In sales of service, beyond the ISS (Service Tax) which is a municipal tax, the income tax
withholding tax may be levied (tax withholding) which is a Federal Tax.

8 - Supplementary Nota Fiscal


Concept:
The supplementary Nota Fiscal always occurs when the value of a commodity was
charged less than the previously traded price, or when the values of lower taxes were
charged.
Both situations should be included in the body of the Nota Fiscal, data concerning the
previous Nota Fiscal in which it was issued with errors.
If pricing supplement should be observed in the first Nota Fiscal, taxes ICMS / IPI were
taxed normally, because they should be charged normally.
If ICMS supplementary, there will be no collection, because the ICMS is a tax added to
the product and the same was included in the value of the goods before. When
processing of this outgoing document if prior Nota Fiscal was previously issued debit
feature of ICMS, the supplementary value should be posted in the ICMS payable versus
ICMS expenses

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 118

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

If IPI supplementary, it will be generating an accounts receivable open item, because


the tax does not have features like the ICMS, or whether it is charged out of the value
of the goods. When processing of this outgoing document, this value should be posted
in the IPI receivable versus customers.
We will see the two situations:
- Supplementary Price
- Supplementary taxes.
8.1 - Supplementary Price
Nota Fiscal of supplementary price with CFOP 5.101 and ICMS / IPI totaling $ 550.00,

9.0 - Credit Note


Definition:
Credit note is a document issued by a company that serves to do deductions on
accounts receivable.
One of the situations is when the issuer of a Nota Fiscal collect unduly more value than
that negotiated in the sales order and instead the recipient of goods issue a returning
Nota Fiscal, the vendor sends a credit note.

Rafael Vanderlei

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

Credit note is not a valid fiscal document because it is only an accounting practice.
9.1 - Credit note posting
Let's imagine for a specific sale, there was the issuance of Nota Fiscal with a value
greater in $ 500.00 .

10.0 - Sales Return
Concept:
Sales return is caused by discrepancies in receiving goods by the buyer depending on
price, terms, product quality and so on.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 124

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

It can occur in two situations:

- Return with same Nota Fiscal itself, or


- Return with Nota Fiscal from buyer.
The only difference between them is that returning with the same Nota
Fiscal itself should contain in the reverse in a handwritten statement from the
recipient that he does not agree with that merchandise. The issuer when receiving the
Nota Fiscal with the goods, shall issue an "incoming" Nota Fiscal as a procedure to
clear that outgoing one.
The accounting and register in fiscal books remain the same for both situations.

Sales returns accounts of ICMS / IPI payable can be replaced by recoverable ICMS / IPI.
The account of sales revenue may also be replaced by another account called sales
returns which is a reduction of the revenue account. This account is mostly used to
better identification in financial statements and accounting, to demonstrate the
amount of returns during the period.
If there are partial sales return, the procedure adopted is the same, but just check the
quantities and values of this returns

11.0 - Remittance/ Packaging returns


Definition:
It is a product type used to pack goods during transportation.
There is also the case of packing remittance, by the buyer to pack products being
manufactured by third parties.
These packages are part of the buyer assets and are under on the same physical and
financial control.
Physical control is quantity in inventory and financial quantities are those physical
quantities represented in the accounts by a financial value. Its control is very similar to
the raw materials or finished goods.
This shipment of returnable packaging occurs along with the sale of a product, i.e., it
goes packing the material being sold.
An example for easy understanding, are the pallets that goes along with the goods and
thereafter shall return to the vendor.
To do so, in this transaction there are two CFOPs in a single operation for Nota Fiscal,
the nature of sale (5.101, 6.101, 5.102, 6.102, etc...) and the nature of packaging
shipping (5.949, 6.949 and so on ...)
The value of packaging in Nota Fiscal exists only as symbolic value for transportation
and taxation should not occur, since these quantities will be returning back later.
When remitting Nota Fiscal for sale with packaging, in addition to the accounting of
sales, it is also registered the packages as follows.
Sales Nota fiscal of $ 1,100.00 and the value of the package equal to $ 2,000.00 with
CFOP's 5.101 and 5.949, containing values of ICMS / IPI.
- Nota Fiscal value
- ICMS / IPI tax base amount
- ICMS value 18%
- IPI Value10%
- PIS 0.65%

12.0 - Sale / Remittance for Future delivery
Concept:
This operation occurs when a buyer (customer) makes purchase of a particular line of
production for some period.
It can also occur when due to physical space the buyer (client) got a lot of goods, but
guides the vendor to do partial deliveries.
So at first there is the issue of a simple billing Nota Fiscal providing the taxation of IPI.
Talking about ICMS, it should be paid only in the physical movement of goods as
required by rules.
Referring further to ICMS, the calculating basis and the value may change if there is an
economic instability in the Country
Each state must create a currency for indexing these values. In case of So Paulo State,
the currency created was UFESP (Fiscal Unit of the State of So Paulo).
The rule operates as follows:
The value of the goods of the first Nota Fiscal (Simple Billing) will be divided by the
currency of that day (e.g. UFESP). On the effective day of Nota Fiscal (day, month or
year), the value got in UFESP (previous calculation result) will be multiplied by UFESP
of the day of the Nota Fiscal of the goods. This calculation is applicable only to find the
base and value of the ICMS.

Rafael Vanderlei
Pgina 131

BRAZIL ACCOUNTING & TAX PROCESSES

Examples:
First Nota Fiscal, CFOP 5.116 - Future delivery sales (single billing), with a total value of
$ 2,000.00 without ICMS / IPI.
UFESP quotation at the day of the simple billing issuance = 1.17
$ 2,000.00 / 1.17 = 1709.401709 UFESP
Second Nota Fiscal, 5.922 Shipment of future delivery two months after the billing.
We must remember that this product is taxed by IPI; it may be registered also in that
Nota Fiscal.
For example purposes, consider a 10% rate of IPI.
First find the calculating basis and value of the ICMS.
UFESP Value for that day = 1.21
Results of the previous division UFESP= 1709.401709 * 1.21 = $ 2068.38
Therefore, the value of NF is as follows:
Nota Fiscal value
Value of goods
ICMS tax base amount
ICMS value 18%
IPI tax base amount
IPI value 10%

= $ 2,200.00
= $ 2,000.00
= $ 2,068.38
= $ 372.31
= $ 2,000.00
= $ 200.00

In the body of Nota Fiscal must contain to which Nota Fiscal this remittance refers to.
If at the time this process there is no change in the currency index, the tax base
amount will be the same as the value of the goods issued on simple billing Nota Fiscal.
12.1 Sale for Future Delivery
We will utilize the previous example to observe tax and accounting entries.

13.0 - Consignment Sale
Concept:
This operation occurs when a particular company will not pay immediately the goods
purchased for resale or industrialization, due to high disbursement, considering that
the sale or production of these products could be time-consuming or even risk in
turnover.
Soon, he makes a contract with the seller to sell goods under consignment mode which
means that, regardless of the amount sent as a consignment, the vendor may issue a
Sales Nota Fiscal under buyer authorization only
If the vendor issue a consignment Nota Fiscal of 100 pieces of a product, and at this
time there is no ongoing sale, but a commitment by the recipient that sale of these
products, the vendor may issue a Nota Fiscal of sales to collect the amount of said
products
If there is no any sale of these goods, the buyer may return to vendor without any
onus to pay.
Remember that when this process occurs, the values relating to taxes must be paid in
the first shipment on consignment Nota Fiscal (5.917, 6.917 or 7.917).
For this process, there will be two Notas Fiscais, the first one is a remittance in
Consignment (5.917, 6.917 or 7.917) with the appropriate tax (ICMS / IPI) and the
second as selling stuff on consignment (5.111,6.111 or .111) without any tax.

Triangle operation is divided as below:
Sales at order
Sales on customer order
Sales by count and order for industrialization

14.17 Sales at account and order for industrialization Tree companies


This kind of transaction is very similar as prior ones; the only change is that it is among
the three companies.
One example is when B buys a determined material from A and A must remit it
to C, and B must issue a remittance Nota Fiscal for industrialization to C.
Then, A must issue a sales Nota Fiscal by accountant and order (symbolic) with all
taxes to B and one remittance of accountant and order Nota Fiscal with all items
explained before.
Following this process, B must issue a remittance Nota Fiscal for industrialization to
C (subcontracting), closing the circle among the three companies.
Example:

The tax and posting entries are exactly equal to the example of sales order and

accordance with the 13.0 topic of incoming processes.

When you are the figure "A", the procedure to be adopted will bet as the 15.13 subtopic of outgoing process.
When you are the figure "B", the procedure to be adopted will be that as the 15.10
sub-topic of outgoing processes

Concept:
Export is any transaction carried out, to any other country as destination.
Whatever the material for industrialization, resale or consumption material, there will
be no taxation.
The Government has determined this technique aiming to control the trade balance,
as hindering the purchase of imported materials means less dollars out of the country,
while on the other side, exports, government benefits the taxpayer with the nonpayment of taxes on exports, which means more dollar inflows .

If this is an export sales of imported products a Nota Fiscal must contain all taxes,
because the benefit is granted only for domestic products .
16.0 Tax free zone sales Zona Franca de Manaus Concept:
With intent to grow the region of Manaus up through industrial parks, government
determined the benefit of not paying the taxes ICMS / IPI/PIS and COFINS for sales
intended for that region, which means cheaper products for the end user of that state.
This benefit is extended only for domestic products, i.e., if the sale is an imported
product, seller is not entitled for that benefit.
Another important detail is that the value of ICMS already included in the sale value, it
must be demonstrated in the body of the Nota Fiscal as "discount of ICMS."
Example:
Value of Goods with ICMS included
ICMS Discount of 7%
Total value of Nota Fiscal

= $ 1,000.00
= $ 70.00
= $ 930.00

Note: Value of $ 930.00 relating to ICMS rebate due to interstate operation is aimed at
the north / northeast, which a rate of 7% is applied.

Concept:
This operation occurs whenever a given company launches a new product, or sends it
to clients to be considered in the application of that material in its production process
or resale.
For this transaction, there is no preview of the return of the goods, as the name
implies, it is a sample. Therefore, the Nota Fiscal to be issued shall contain the taxation
of ICMS and IPI taxes.
For this Nota Fiscal, the ICMS tax base amount will be the value of the goods plus the
IPI value, as in this case who is assuming the costs is the issuer of Nota Fiscal. Once it is
understood that it is the end user.
The amount of Nota Fiscal should be at least the cost value of the product given in
inventory (average cost).
On the other hand, as the commodity is finished good product, the company will be
posting the cost value of the product and value of the ICMS / IPI versus ICMS / IPI
payable versus an expense account of the requesting cost center responsible for this
shipment.

18.0 Demonstration outgoing Nota Fiscal


Concept:
This operation occurs when a particular company is shipping goods for demonstration.
Therefore, this means that the product can return to the owner. Even so, taxes may be
paid and when they goods are returned taxes will be credited back. The ICMS tax base
amount in this case, it is also value of the goods plus IPI. Rule is like that because
materials may not return to the sender.
If the issuer does not opt for taxation and goods are not returned within 180 days, this
must compulsorily be collected and the value must be updated as required by law.

20.0 - Other Non-specified Outgoing


For these operations, the understanding becomes the easiest of all, because just only
is to consider whether the material is in inventory, or if it is a consumption material.
If the material is an inventory item, there should be an accounting withdraw in
temporary accounts or expenses, taking into account the entries in the fiscal books as
previous topics.
If the material is a consumption material, postings will be in assets accounts versus
temporary or expenses, in addition to the entries in fiscal books.
If both transactions there are return possibility and then, the previously used accounts
should have the corresponding reversals.

For the non-specified outgoing, CFOP codes to be used are:


- 5.949
- 6.949 or
- 7.949
These CFOPs are always used when non specified transactions are not given in that
CFOP government table.
5.8 Moving average price concept
Brazil legal requirement
Brazilian General Accepted Accounting Rules (BRGAAP), defines the methodology of
the valuation of the stock values at the end of each month to be calculated according
to the concept of the moving average price (also known in Portuguese as Custo Mdio
Ponderado), so any other types of methodology like FIFI, LIFO and others, which are
normally accepted in other regions, like US and Europe (through different GAAP
principle) are not accepted by the government in the Balance Sheet report accrual
procedure.
So, according to this principle, it is understood that, for instance, all the supplies the
company purchases are evaluated according to the moving average price, in which are
calculated every time the material is posted into the stock, adjusting each material at
the calculated average price affected by the price of the purchase, calculated upon the
quantity purchased vs. the existing quantity of the item. The result is that the stock
value changes by the time new material are posted in the stock pile, real time.
However, the law states that for Balance Sheet purposes, the stock evaluation should
be adjusted according to the moving average price, so this opened the possibility to
have the concept of standard price conceived and applied without impact on the
BRGAAP standards to be applied on Brazilian companies.
