- Brazil has issued implementing rules for a new dual VAT system: Federal VAT (CBS) and State VAT (IBS).
- Foreign digital platforms may be required to register in Brazil and collect/report these taxes on transactions they intermediate, especially for digital services, intangibles, and goods sold into Brazil.
- Compliance starts on August 1, 2026, with 2026 as a transition year for informational calculations; broader financial impact is expected from 2027.
- The reform depends heavily on Brazil’s electronic invoicing system and introduces split-payment features where payment providers remit the taxes directly.
- More guidance is still needed, so businesses serving Brazilian customers should prepare now for registration, reporting, and system changes.
