Multa Geral por Não Conformidade Tributária (ICMS e Impostos Federais)

3 verified sources

Definition

Penalties for tax non-compliance, incorrect calculations, missing fields, or SPED errors range from 1% to 150% depending on infraction severity; standard penalty is 75% of tax due.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: 75% of tax due (standard penalty); up to 150% for egregious cases; range 1–150% depending on infraction type. For a R$100K monthly invoice volume with 2% error rate = R$2K/month = ~R$24K/year in exposed penalty risk
  • Frequency: Per audit cycle (typically annual); compounding if errors repeat across multiple filing periods
  • Root Cause: Incorrect ICMS regime selection, miscalculation of tax amounts, missing mandatory invoice fields, non-compliance with state-specific SPED rules, late detection of SEFAZ technical note changes

Why This Matters

The Pitch: BI/billing platforms in Brasil expose customers to R$10K–R$100K+ in annual penalty risk per customer due to ICMS regime errors and tax calculation bugs. A platform serving 100 customers with average R$1M billing volume sees cumulative exposure of R$1M–R$10M+ across its customer base. Tax-compliant invoice generation and field validation eliminates 90%+ of audit risk.
