Last week, our partner, Estevão Gross, had the honor of participating in the Lunch-Debate organized by the France-Brazil Chamber of Commerce (CCIFB), alongside Bernard Appy, Extraordinary Secretary for Tax Reform at the Ministry of Finance. The event took place at the headquarters of Pernod Ricard in São Paulo and brought together representatives from member companies.
During the meeting, regulations and transition mechanisms for the new tax model were discussed. Secretary Appy shared his insights on the challenges and impacts of the Tax Reform, highlighting key points such as:
- The start of the transition in 2026, ensuring companies have sufficient time to adapt to the new model;
- The correction of distortions in the current tax system, promoting greater tax fairness and increasing the autonomy of states to strategically allocate resources;
- The implementation schedule, with a gradual transition planned until 2033, providing balance and adaptability throughout the process.
The debate offered critical insights for both Brazilian and French companies already preparing for this significant transformation. A special thanks to CCIFB-SP for organizing the event and to Pernod Ricard for hosting this important discussion!
