Brazil Enacts Second Law to Implement Dual VAT System, Replacing Multiple Taxes by 2033

  • Brazil approved PLP 108/2024 to implement a new dual VAT system, replacing PIS, COFINS, ICMS, and ISS with a federal CBS (8.8%) and a state-municipal IBS (17.7%) between 2026 and 2033.
  • A new Selective Tax will replace the federal excise tax (IPI) on products like alcohol, tobacco, and sugary drinks.
  • The law establishes a national IBS authority to collect and distribute tax revenues, issue binding rules, and end competing state tax regimes.
  • Special VAT rules and anti-evasion measures are introduced for sectors such as financial services, energy, digital platforms, and property rentals.
  • Social measures include VAT cashback for low-income households and options for small businesses, with a full transition to the new system expected by 2033.
