Brazilian Taxes for Legal Entities Arnaud Bleuez

In 2019, Brazil was ranked by the IMF at the 109th position (out of a total of 190 countries) on "Ease of doing business". The assessment on taxes is even worse: 184th position. "Brazilian Taxes: what you need to know" was written by a British and Brazilian qualified Certified Accountant, ex PwC London, living in Brazil for over 10 years. Written for CFOs, CEOS, investors, entrepreneurs, it contains practical techniques such as methods of calculation of taxes, be they federal, state or local, or information on employer costs and social security contribution requirements. You will also find a wealth of information on export related taxes (and guidance on how to use the Brazilian tax simulator, so you can assess yourself the amount of tax burden on your exports). The publication also provides numerical examples, accounting entries, as well as case studies of tax optimization.
