The tax calculation history record enables NetSuite to keep track of the COFINS withheld amounts calculated for each subsidiary and vendor in a day.

When the amount reaches the minimum, NetSuite adds the COFINS to the first item from the transaction in which the minimum amount was reached.

If you create more transactions after the minimum amount is reached, the system withholds COFINS on each transaction.
