- Brazil is introducing a new federal CBS tax and state IBS tax on digital services, effective from 2026, as part of a VAT regime replacing four existing taxes.
- Non-resident providers of digital services, including marketplaces and platforms, must collect and remit CBS and IBS if their services are consumed in Brazil.
- Taxable digital services include streaming, SaaS/cloud software, platform intermediation, online advertising, and other internet-based services.
- The combined tax rate will be about 26.5% (CBS 8.8% + IBS 17.7%), with phased implementation through 2033.
- B2C transactions are targeted for these obligations, while B2B customers can self-account; digital platforms are liable if they control T&Cs, payments, or delivery.
