Brazil updates taxes, enforcement tools, and green investment agenda

Brazil is rolling out notable changes across its regulatory landscape, from new indirect tax measures at federal, state, and municipal levels coordinated via Confaz, to revised practices around corporate leniency agreements that reshape how companies settle investigations. At the same time, the Lula administration is targeting more than $48 billion in sustainable investments, signaling a strong policy push toward green development. Together, these shifts mean businesses must reassess tax planning, compliance strategies, and capital allocation in Brazil’s evolving legal and policy environment.
