Brazil 2027 Budget: New 'sin tax' and minimum wage projections

The Brazilian federal government has submitted its 2027 Annual Budget Law Project (PLOA) to Congress, outlining key economic projections and fiscal strategies. The proposal includes a projected GDP growth rate of 2.46% and estimates a minimum wage of R$ 1,741.

Regarding taxation, the budget introduces the Selective Tax (Imposto Seletivo), or 'sin tax', which is expected to generate R$ 41.9 billion in 2027 by taxing products harmful to health or the environment, such as tobacco, alcohol, sugary drinks, and certain vehicles. Additionally, the Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS) is projected to raise R$ 636 billion.

On the fiscal side, the government projects a robust primary surplus of R$ 83.4 billion, though the effective primary surplus—after accounting for specific excluded expenditures—is estimated at R$ 18.6 billion, or 0.13% of GDP.

Social spending for the Bolsa Família program is set at R$ 157.1 billion for 2027. Notably, the current proposal does not include a value adjustment for the program's benefits, meaning the minimum payment is expected to remain at R$ 600 per family.
