Brazil tax reform: implementation and compliance updates

Overview

Brazil’s transition to a destination-based dual Value Added Tax (IVA) system is advancing through technical and regulatory refinements. The system, comprising the federal CBS and the state/municipal IBS, is set to begin in 2027, eventually replacing PIS, Cofins, ICMS, and ISS.

Operational preparations have intensified with the ‘split payment’ mechanism, designed to segregate tax portions at the moment of financial settlement. While intended to reduce evasion, the mechanism has sparked debate regarding its impact on working capital. Technical testing of the platform is scheduled to begin on October 15, 2026, in a controlled environment to validate system communication across methods like Pix, Boleto, and TED without affecting real operations.

For micro and small enterprises, the Simples Nacional Management Committee (CGSN) has extended the deadline for requesting entry into the regime for the 2027 calendar year to October 15, 2026. Companies also have until October 30, 2026, to decide whether to pay IBS and CBS through the unified Simples Nacional or via the regular regime to facilitate tax credit generation.

Technical compliance is showing progress; recent data from the Receita Federal indicates that approximately 86% of invoices required to detail the CBS have complied with new rules, totaling 3.7 billion invoices. To support this, the CGIBS and Receita Federal released updated technical documentation (version 1.3.0) for the DeRE and tax layouts. Additionally, the Ministry of Finance has established specific CBS rates for various fuels, including gasoline and diesel, as the system prepares for the January 2027 collection start.
