- Brazil begins transitioning to a dual VAT system in 2026, replacing PIS, Cofins, ICMS, and ISS with CBS (federal) and IBS (state/municipal).
- Rules for IBS and CBS were published on April 30, 2026, and 2026 serves as a test phase with a combined 1% rate offset against existing PIS/Cofins.
- From August 2026, regular-tax businesses must report CBS and IBS fields on NF-e and NFC-e documents, with penalties for non-compliance.
- In September 2026, Simples Nacional businesses must choose their tax election and collection model for the first half of 2027.
- CBS becomes fully effective in 2027, while IBS is phased in from 2029 to 2033, completing the new system by 2033.
