Tax Law and Tax Compliance

Efficient tax advice is essential for the success of business projects in Brazil. Despite being known for having one of the largest volumes of tax litigation in the world, with a value of more than BRL 5.4 trillion according to data released by Insper in early 2021, Brazil remains an attractive market for new businesses whose potential can be explored through smart tax planning.

We advise our clients by integrating innovation in tax and fiscal solutions with legal certainty and high specialization. Our tax department has three areas of action:

Consulting services: We work developing interpretative opinions on tax legislation and tax planning for different purposes.

Administrative and judicial litigation: With recognized performance in Regional and Superior Courts, including the Superior Court of Justice (Supremo Tribunal de Justiça – STJ) and the Federal Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal – STF), our firm acts to defend the interests of our clients in active and passive disputes against tax authorities in the municipal, state or federal spheres.

Tax compliance: The growing complexity of tax and social security liabilities require that companies implement an effective control of their practices. We advise our clients in the review of assessments and calculations of relevant taxes and developments, ensuring security and solidity in the information recorded and amounts collected.
