Recent developments in Brazil indicate changes on the horizon, as the country continues to move towards a tax reform for simplification of e-invoicing obligations.
A significant reform of ancillary tax obligations is underway aiming to create a unified system for issuing tax documents. The government has long anticipated and discussed this project, but it now shows promise of becoming a reality.
The Brazilian government published Complementary Law no. 199 (Lei Complementar no. 199) in August 2023, establishing the National Statute for the Simplification of Additional Tax Obligations (the Statute). The Statute derives from Draft Law Proposal no. 178/2021 and seeks to streamline ancillary tax obligations, including filing tax returns, keeping accounting records and issuing electronic invoices.
