Brazil Adopts Dual VAT System: Key Amendments Clarify Compliance and Sector-Specific Indirect Tax Rules

  • Brazil approved PLP 108/2024, advancing indirect tax reform and establishing a dual VAT system (CBS at federal, IBS at state/municipal levels).
  • The law creates the Committee for the Management of the Tax on Goods and Services (CGIBS) to oversee IBS administration, revenue distribution, and regulatory powers.
  • Technical corrections and clarifications were made to ensure consistent tax treatment and legal certainty, including rules for recurring transactions and credit adjustments.
  • Sector-specific rules were introduced for energy, digital platforms, real estate, financial services, and fuel, addressing compliance, tax bases, and anti-fraud measures.
  • The transition to the new system starts in 2026 and will be completed by 2033.
