- Brazil’s 2026–2032 VAT reform introduces a targeted “Cashback” mechanism to refund VAT paid by low-income families on essential goods and services.
- Cashback replaces traditional VAT exemptions or reduced rates, providing direct, personalised refunds based on actual spending.
- Eligible families receive full or partial refunds of CBS (federal) and IBS (state/municipal) VAT directly to their bank accounts.
- The system leverages digital tax reporting to efficiently deliver support, aligning with global trends in VAT digitalisation.
- Implementation will be phased, with CBS Cashback expected to begin in 2027 and IBS Cashback to follow.
