Brazil's Federal Revenue postpones mandatory IBS and CBS tax fields on invoices

Brazil's Federal Revenue has postponed the mandatory inclusion of IBS and CBS tax fields on invoices. The start date for this requirement remains undefined. This decision delays the implementation of new tax fields for the Goods and Services Tax (IBS) and the Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS), which were set to begin January 1, 2026. This provides businesses more time to adapt to the complex new tax system. The IBS and CBS are part of Brazil's tax reform, replacing five existing taxes. While not mandatory for invoice validity, information on these new taxes is still expected to be provided.
