- Brazil will implement a VAT system starting January 1, 2026.
- The system uses an “intelligent split payment” method to reduce VAT fraud and improve compliance.
- Payment service providers will split payments and verify if suppliers have VAT credits.
- If suppliers have enough credits, payment service providers will transfer the full amount.
- This aims to reduce cash flow issues and minimize VAT refund claims.
