Brazil approves fuel tax cuts and multi-sector fiscal incentives FAST-MOVING

The Brazilian Congress has approved Complementary Law Project (PLP) 114/2026, which establishes federal tax reductions on the import, production, and sale of diesel, biodiesel, gasoline, ethanol, and aviation kerosene. The measure aims to mitigate price volatility caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East between the United States and Iran.

The final text, expanded by rapporteur Marussa Boldrin, includes various incentives for other sectors. These include up to R$ 5 billion in tax credits for fertilizer production between 2027 and 2031, and financial aid of up to R$ 1.2 billion for ethanol producers to maintain competitiveness against fossil fuels. The bill also provides tax benefits for critical minerals, rare earths, and the 2027 Women's World Cup.

To offset revenue losses, the government will utilize increased federal revenue from higher oil prices and royalties. The project also introduces fiscal safeguards to limit public spending growth in the event of projected deficits.
