Brazil Publishes Law Advancing Second Phase of Consumption Tax Reform and IBS Administration

• Complementary Law No. 227/2026 was published on 14 January 2026, advancing the Consumption Tax Reform.
• The law creates the IBS Management Committee (CGIBS) to administer the new IBS tax, shared by states, the Federal District, and municipalities.
• It establishes general rules for IBS-related tax litigation, tax transition, compensation and reimbursement of ICMS credits, and modifies rules for the Inheritance and Donation Tax (ITCMD).
• The law amends and consolidates previous tax legislation, including Complementary Law No. 214/2025.
• The final law differs from the House-approved version due to presidential vetoes, and further regulations will be published to operationalize the new rules.
