- Brazil is reforming its tax system by replacing five taxes with a Dual VAT model: CBS (federal) and IBS (state/municipal), plus a Selective Tax on harmful products.
- The reform aims to simplify taxation, reduce bureaucracy, improve transparency, and make compliance easier for businesses.
- Implementation will be gradual: CBS starts in 2027, IBS phases in from 2029, and the old taxes are fully replaced by 2033.
- From August 2026, companies must begin reporting CBS and IBS in electronic tax documents, requiring updates to invoicing, ERP, rules, validations, and layouts.
- The change also brings technical and compliance updates across fiscal documents, including new fields, split payment documentation, and future alphanumeric CNPJ numbers.
