- Brazil released its first detailed regulations on federal (CBS) and state/municipal (IBS) VAT on 30 April 2026, following recent tax reform laws.
- The regulations cover over 1,200 articles detailing taxable transactions, tax base, credits, electronic documentation, VAT registration for nonresidents, and more.
- Penalty enforcement begins August 2026 for companies not including CBS and IBS information in e-invoices, with a 1% penalty on transaction value.
- The regulations are still being refined, with a public consultation open until 31 May 2026, and further rules are needed for full implementation.
- Taxpayers are advised to analyze tax impacts, update systems and processes, review supply chains, assess incentive changes, and monetize accumulated ICMS credits in preparation for the reform.
