Last time, we talked about optimizing your personal taxes in Brazil.
But what if you want to invest or do business locally. Can that be tax-attractive as well?
At first glance, Brazil isn’t exactly an attractive country for your company setup – after all, with an effective corporate tax of 34% including the Social Security Tax and surcharge, the headline rate is one of the highest in the world.
The 3 indirect taxes (Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services, Services Tax, and Industrialized Products tax) also add to the complexity of running a Brazilian company. In most major countries, you have a single VAT.
However, Brazil offers interesting options for investors and entrepreneurs, be it with a small or a large business.
