Tax Compliance in Brazil: Why So Complex?

What comes to your mind when you hear the name Brazil? Think fast! 

Perhaps the beautiful beaches of Rio de Janeiro, the Amazon jungle or the country’s historic success in the World Cup? 

If you lead an international company with operations in Brazil, you probably think of something else first: taxes! That is because Brazil is also known for having the most complex tax system in the world. 

Why are taxes in Brazil so complicated? And how can international companies with Brazilian subsidiaries overcome tax-related challenges? Let’s take a look.

Brazil is known for its beaches…and its complex tax regulations. 

What’s Different About Brazil Taxes? 

When expanding your business to Brazil, you will quickly encounter new back-office requirements that can cause major headaches when it comes to achieving tax compliance. 

For example, the Brazilian government mandates that companies submit online information about sales through electronic invoicing and electronic monthly legal ledgers. However, sales and withholding taxes are calculated in very different ways for service companies and businesses that sell actual goods. To add further to the complexity, tax laws can vary widely between states and even the many cities spread across the sprawling country.
