Brazil Consumption Tax Reform rollout July‑Aug 2026

Entities: Brazil · Conselho Federal de Contabilidade · Rafael Pandolfo · Maria da Conceição Rezende · Conselho Regional de Contabilidade de Minas Gerais

Overview

The consumption tax reform introduced in early July has moved from initial rollout into a broader implementation phase. The Federal Accounting Council (CFC) completed its 10th of 18 training modules on 28 May, holding a hybrid session at IBMEC in Belo Horizonte and streaming it live. Partnered with the Federal Revenue Service, the module covered differentiated and specific regimes, with officials detailing the new rules and stressing accountants’ role in applying them. The training series will continue weekly, with the final module scheduled for 22 September.

At the corporate level, the reform obliges companies under the regular tax regime to update electronic invoicing systems in August to include the new IBS and CBS tax fields, revise product registrations and conduct testing to avoid disruptions. Firms using Simples Nacional are advised to monitor forthcoming guidance. The changes have also revived interest in holding‑company structures as businesses seek asset‑protection and tax‑efficiency, while a pending Supreme Court decision on ITBI incidence looms.

A regional tourism forum on 4 August in Teresópolis will examine the reform’s impact on hotels, bars and restaurants, alongside topics such as AI‑driven kitchen management, food safety and destination development.
