- Brazil’s Federal Senate has approved a tax reform bill involving federal, state, and municipal indirect taxes.
- The bill includes changes to the version adopted by the lower house of parliament.
- The reform would introduce a dual value added tax (VAT) regime.
- It would replace the state VAT and municipal tax on services with a tax on goods and services (IBS).
- It would also substitute federal contributions and excise tax with a contribution on goods and services (CBS).
- The reform would be implemented over a seven-year transitional period starting in 2026.
- The rates for CBS and IBS would gradually increase, while ICMS and ISS would gradually decrease.
- Full implementation of the regime is proposed to happen from 2033.
