BRThe Confederation of Brazilian Industry (CNI) has proposed tax reforms for corporate income to presidential candidates, aiming to align Brazil with international standards set by the OECD. The proposal includes reducing the nominal tax rate on corporate profits (IRPJ and CSLL) to below the OECD average of 23.3%, currently at 34% for large companies. It also suggests eliminating the 30% cap on fiscal loss compensation, modernizing rules for interest on equity capital, reviewing incentives for research and development, and adopting consolidated accounting rules for economic groups. Additionally, the plan calls for expanding agreements to avoid double taxation and replacing the current system for taxing foreign earnings with more internationally aligned practices. The CNI argues that Brazil remains misaligned with global corporate tax norms, facing high nominal tax burdens and early, cumulative taxes in certain situations.
