- Brazil is implementing a major tax reform from 2026–2032, replacing multiple indirect taxes with a dual VAT system: CBS (federal) and IBS (state/municipal).
- The reform will be phased in, starting with a pilot phase in 2026, followed by the gradual abolition of old taxes and full implementation by 2032.
- Invoices will become the main tool for tax calculation and compliance, with new mandatory CBS and IBS fields.
- There will be a three-month penalty-free testing period in 2026, after which invoice errors can result in fines, loss of tax credits, and operational disruptions.
- Businesses must update their systems and processes in 2026 to ensure compliance and avoid risks once enforcement begins.
