Brazil Enacts Taxpayer Protection Code to Strengthen Compliance and Tax Authority Cooperation

  • Brazil enacted Complementary Law 225/2026, creating a Taxpayer Protection Code focused on transparency, predictability, and cooperative tax compliance.
  • Compliant businesses can apply for Confia and Sintonia seals starting April 9, 2026, based on registration, payment regularity, filing accuracy, and data quality.
  • Approved taxpayers may receive benefits such as CSLL discounts, lower seizure risk, and procurement preferences.
  • Habitual tax debtors face tougher enforcement, higher compliance costs, and possible criminal liability.
  • The law also strengthens taxpayer rights, including access to tax files, clearer communications, strict deadlines, and damages for bad-faith tax authority actions.
