[Free Translation] The Agreement No. 92/15 (which was amended by Agreement No. 146/15) establishes the system of standardization and identification (CEST code) of goods and assets that may be subject to tax substitution schemes and ICMS payment in advance with the closure tax, related to subsequent operations. On 12/15/2015 CONFAZ issued a note stating that the changes lend themselves to a variety of purposes, especially the following: a) a new system of standardization and identification of goods and assets that may be subject to tax substitution schemes and ICMS payment in advance with the closure of tax, related to subsequent operations, must be observed by all taxpayers of ICMS, regardless the tax regime, b) determine which goods may be included by the states and the Federal District in tax substitution schemes and anticipation of payment of taxes with tax foreclosure, relating to subsequent operations. Therefore, the list is authorizing to these federated units; c) standardize the descriptions and codifications of goods subject to tax substitution schemes and anticipation of payment of taxes with tax foreclosure, relating to subsequent operations; d) allow the proper identification of goods which, while distinct, are classified in the same NCM / HS; e) assign the specifier Code of Tax Substitution - CEST, allowing the correct identification of the subject merchandise subject to tax substitution schemes and anticipation of payment of taxes with tax foreclosure, relating to subsequent operations and, consequently, the tax treatment for the which it is subject; f) enable application development that will perform the calculation of ICMS due to tax substitution and in anticipation of the payment of taxes with tax foreclosure on to subsequent operations.
