Briefings
Brazil's Minister of Finance Dario Durigan stated that two new taxes introduced in 2027 will not increase the overall tax burden. These taxes replace existing ones, simplifying the consumption tax system. The Imposto Seletivo and Contribuição sobre Bens e Serviços (CBS) will replace the Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados (IPI), affecting only specific harmful sectors like alcohol, tobacco, and cars. The MP 1.399/2026 was published on November 4, 2026, and the taxes are expected to start in 2027.
Key points
- Minister Dario Durigan claims the new taxes replace existing ones, reducing the total number of taxes from five to two.
- The Imposto Seletivo and CBS will only apply to specific harmful sectors such as alcohol, tobacco, and cars, leaving other industries without the IPI.
