The decision was published on August 13, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The panel concluded that made-to-order, individualized smart cards linked to banking services lack independent economic utility and do not constitute goods capable of legal circulation. It therefore classified them as personalized printed materials inseparable from the services provided by financial institutions and ruled out ICMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision further held that the exception in item 13.05 of the list attached to Supplementary Law No. 116\/2003 does not apply because the cards are not intended for subsequent sale or manufacturing. They cannot be resold, reused, or assigned to third parties and serve exclusively as instruments for accessing the banking services offered to the relevant customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This material is for informational purposes only.
