Provisional Measure on Taxation of Funds Published

BRAZIL
  • Provisional measure on taxation of investment funds in the country was published in an extra edition of the official gazette. The provisional measure suggests that the funds should be charged by 15-20% twice a year. A 10% tax rate would be offered for those who start paying the tax in 2023. However, House speaker Lira prefers a 6% rate instead of 10% for those who start paying in 2023. The government expects to raise BRL 24bn between 2023 and 2026.
