Brazilian Tax Reform Spurs New Price‑Intelligence Competition

Brazil’s long‑awaited tax reform is reshaping corporate pricing strategies. Companies that can map tax impacts product‑by‑product and apply analytical pricing are gaining a measurable edge, while those relying on intuition risk margin erosion. As Frederico Zornig notes, “pricing now demands an analytical approach, continuous monitoring of indicators and a faster reaction to market changes.”

At the same time, entrepreneur Leo Bentier has closed his tax‑intelligence platform Seferu to external clients, turning it into a proprietary engine that identifies undervalued, poorly organized small firms. Bentier argues, “The market discovered that a rule beats feeling. The rest of the economy still decides by eye. The opportunity is not to be smarter, but systematic where no one else is.” His model focuses on fixing tax‑related inefficiencies in acquisitions, a practice he believes can permanently improve cash flow.

Both developments illustrate how Brazil’s tax overhaul is driving a silent battle for pricing intelligence and acquisition opportunities, with data‑driven tools becoming central to competitive advantage.
