Brazilian legal and tax landscape developments

Overview

Brazil is experiencing significant shifts in its legal, tax, and regulatory landscapes. Judicial developments include landmark rulings from the Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) regarding the seizure of loyalty program miles and salaries to settle debts, as well as specific protocols for tax execution against estates. Concurrently, the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) is reviewing tax matters related to electricity subsidies and Free Trade Zone benefits.

On the legislative and professional fronts, the federal government is considering new social security contributions to curb ‘pejotização’—the use of legal entity contracts to bypass traditional employment obligations. Meanwhile, the legal sector is navigating technological changes, including debates over the necessity of supplementary registration fees in a digital era and the impact of artificial intelligence on mass litigation. Despite AI integration, the number of lawyers specializing in high-volume litigation has continued to grow alongside rising judicial volumes.
