- Resolution CGSN No. 190/2026 lets Brazilian Simplified Tax regime companies choose, from 2027, whether State VAT and Federal VAT stay inside the simplified system or move to the regular tax system.
- This creates a hybrid option: the company remains in the Simplified Tax regime, but VAT can be calculated separately under the regular regime.
- The choice applies for six-month periods, with the first election for Jan 1–Jun 30, 2027 made Sept. 1–30, 2026, and a second window for Jul 1–Dec 31, 2027 made Mar. 1–31, 2027.
- This is especially important for B2B businesses because keeping VAT inside the simplified regime may limit customers’ tax credits; B2C businesses may be less affected.
- Companies should model both options before September 2026, comparing tax burden, credits, pricing, customer mix, and business impact.
