Understanding the Tax Benefit Code (cBenef)

Note: The Nota Fiscal XML generation must include Fiscal Benefit Codes (cBenef, Código de Benefício Fiscal) and associated print messages for all ICMS-incentivized transactions. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides dedicated configuration, automated assignment, and XML publishing of cBenef codes to support compliance with Secretaria da Fazenda (SEFAZ) and state requirements.

The cBenef code is required by Brazilian tax authorities for specific outbound Nota Fiscal transactions that involve ICMS exemptions, reductions, or deferrals. Each code can be linked with a fiscal print message required for compliance with federal and state law.

Use the Tax Benefit Code Setup program (P76B027) to define and maintain Tax Benefit Codes (legal cBenef values), their descriptions, and Print Messages required for Nota Fiscal and XML output. This program also supports the bulk update of the tax benefit codes.
