Overview of Brazilian Tax Reform Proposal
The Brazilian Tax Reform proposal in October 2019 aims to address challenges in the current tax system by introducing changes such as a broader tax basis, simplification, and centralized collection. The proposal includes various key elements like PEC 45/2019, PEC 110/2019, and PEC 128/2019, aiming for a uniform tax regime and potential taxation on every transaction. However, it also poses challenges such as potential litigation on the definition of destination and the accumulation of IVA credits. The reform seeks to streamline taxation processes and reduce bureaucracy in Brazilian courts.
