- Brazil’s Federal Revenue Service launched a new Digital Tax Audit (MFD) round on August 27, 2026, targeting possible understatements of PIS/Cofins.
- The audit cross-checked DCTF filings against EFD-Contribuições data and found about BRL 300 million in discrepancies across more than 3,000 taxpayers.
- Affected taxpayers may voluntarily correct their positions by October 30, 2026, before formal audits begin.
- Voluntary regularization can help avoid or reduce penalties, with the main penalty potentially reaching 75% of the unpaid tax, plus interest and other applicable charges.
- The RFB is using the MFD as an active compliance enforcement tool, based on prior cycles where most contacted taxpayers reportedly regularized issues.
