- Brazil launched a pilot phase for its new CBS (federal) and IBS (state/municipal) consumption taxes on January 1, 2026, integrating them into e-invoicing and compliance systems.
- New regulations for CBS and IBS will be published in 2026, followed by a three-month penalty-free testing period where businesses must fill out relevant invoice fields.
- Full CBS implementation is set for 2027, while IBS will be phased in from 2029 to 2032.
- Once fully operational, strict enforcement will begin, with penalties for non-compliance.
- The reform aims to simplify Brazil’s complex indirect tax system, reduce business costs, increase productivity, and improve transparency by replacing multiple taxes with a dual-VAT model.
