- Brazil is replacing multiple existing consumption taxes with a unified CBS (federal) and IBS (state/municipal), plus a Selective Tax (IS), under a phased transition from 2026 to 2033.
- For the first time, non-resident digital suppliers (e.g., SaaS, streaming, platforms) must register for CBS/IBS and collect tax on Brazilian sales.
- Platforms may be held responsible for tax collection; if neither supplier nor platform registers, financial institutions may withhold the tax.
- E-invoicing requirements are being updated to include CBS/IBS fields, with a national model for service invoices advancing.
- Foreign digital sellers must prepare for tax registration, review contracts, adjust pricing/ERP systems, and ensure e-invoicing compliance.
