- Brazil is implementing a split payment VAT system where VAT is automatically withheld during electronic payments and sent directly to tax authorities.
- The system aims to reduce fraud, payment delays, and cash-flow manipulation by enabling real-time VAT settlement and granting credits only after payment.
- It leverages Brazil’s advanced e-invoicing and banking infrastructure for seamless integration and transparency.
- The reform seeks to close the VAT gap, combat tax fraud, and lower compliance costs for businesses.
- If successful, this system could serve as a global model for modern VAT collection.
