The week before last, the IBEF São Paulo Tax Committee held an essential debate on the upcoming Tax Reform, which will have concrete impacts on the business sector.
The event featured a special appearance by Marcos Hübner Flores, one of the leaders of the Internal Revenue Service Reform, who presented exclusive information on the anticipated changes. Under the confident leadership of Tatiana Midori Migiyama, the meeting brought to light crucial aspects that every entrepreneur and tax professional should know.
Rodrigo La Rosa, a member of the committee, shared the main points discussed by Marcos Flores on his LinkedIn network in a post that is well worth reading.
Highlights include:
✅ New alphanumeric CNPJ (Brazilian Federal Taxpayer Registry Number for legal entities)
✅ Implementation of CBS (Contribution on Goods and Services) and IBS (Tax on Goods and Services)
✅ Processing of 70 billion tax documents per year
✅ Super Smart Split Payment (in real time!)
✅ Extinction of EFD Contributions (Digital Tax Bookkeeping for Federal Social Contributions)
✅ Open source calculator integrated into ERPs (Enterprise Resource Planning systems)
📌 Why was this event so important?
Starting in 2026, the Brazilian tax system will undergo profound changes. Companies will need to adapt to the new alphanumeric CNPJ, understand how the CBS and IBS work, and be prepared for a tax environment that will process around 70 billion electronic documents per year.
But the progress isn’t just about numbers. There are plans for innovations like Super Smart Split Payment, which works online and in real time, and the development of an open source calculator to integrate with ERP systems. The changes range from getting rid of EFD Contributions to standardizing invoices across the country.
This is not just a regulatory change – we are facing a true modernization of the Brazilian tax system, requiring careful preparation on the part of companies.
Events such as this, promoted by IBEF São Paulo, are essential for keeping professionals and businesspeople up to date, connected, and ready for the challenges of the future. After all, it was a unique opportunity to hear directly from the source about the changes that will affect all business activity in the country.
👏 Congratulations to the organizers and everyone involved for promoting this moment of learning and clarification.
