Brazil initiates operational phase of major tax reform effective August 2026

This transition forces a significant overhaul of corporate financial management and internal IT infrastructure to ensure compliance with the new collection model. The long-term impact on operational costs and fiscal efficiency remains uncertain as firms adapt to the phased rollout.
