Direct answer: The agreement’s name does not identify a single taxpayer. IBS/CBS depends on who makes each supply, the integrated producer’s status, ownership of inputs, production delivery and remuneration. The agreement, fiscal document and physical flow must describe the same transaction.

Practical framework
| Stage | Essential question |
|---|---|
| Inputs from integrator | sale, tied supply or return; who owns them? |
| Production | is the integrated producer a taxpayer? |
| Delivery | which document records value, quantity and quality? |
| Remuneration | price, participation, service or combined formula? |
Map every flow before calculating. Clauses should identify parties and establishments, ownership, remuneration, documents, tax responsibility, access to records, losses and correction of fiscal errors. A generic clause shifting “all taxes” cannot change statutory liability.
Retain the agreement, technical annexes, supplier records, dispatch/return documents, production reports, quality reports, remuneration calculation and XML. Main risks are mischaracterization, duplicate documents and credits, and assigning the integrator’s duty to the producer.
When professional review matters
Use an accountant to validate status, bookkeeping, documents, credits and systems. Add legal counsel when contracts, related entities, cooperatives, exports, integrations or disputed classifications can change liability.

Should agreements be updated in 2026?
Review documents, price, credits and responsibility before operations transition.
