Brazil Tax Update: Full inclusion to full immersion

Apr 2, 2025
50:34

Doug McHoney (PwC’s International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Dr. Romero Tavares, PwC Brazil’s International Tax Leader and a professor of international tax law in São Paulo. Doug and Romero discuss the increasing intersection between Brazil’s international tax policy and global trade dynamics, including the effects of recent US executive orders. They cover Brazil’s high-tax corporate environment, its historically aggressive CFC-like full inclusion regime, and the country’s rapid adoption of a qualified domestic minimum top-up tax (QDMTT). The conversation explores the political and policy rationale behind these moves, the anticipated redesign of Brazil’s CFC regime, and the operational challenges multinationals face with the new OECD-aligned transfer pricing rules. Romero also breaks down Brazil’s massive indirect tax reform and the country’s potential shift to more internationally-aligned tax norms, while questioning the long-term viability of the undertaxed profits rule (UTPR) and Pillar Two’s durability under changing geopolitical winds.
