- Brazil approved a comprehensive tax reform in 2023, replacing five existing consumption taxes with a dual VAT system: the federal CBS and the subnational IBS.
- The reform aims to simplify the tax system, broaden the tax base, and create a unified legal framework.
- Implementation will occur gradually from 2026 to 2033, with old taxes phased out and new systems phased in.
- Businesses will face increased complexity during the transition but are expected to benefit from administrative simplification in the long term.
- The reform introduces a cashback mechanism for low-income families and requires non-resident digital platforms to register and pay taxes in Brazil.
