DEADLINES, LOCATION, AND IMPORTANT POINTS

Effects of the option: Once the company has elected to be subject to the standard rates of the IBS and CBS, it will be taxed at the standard rates for those taxes.

These companies are also able to register IBS ad CBS credits over acquisitions that have been taxed, as set out by Sections 47 to 56 of Complementary Law No. 214/2025.


  • Cancellation: May be requested irrevocably by November 30, 2026.
  • Duration: Semi-annual.
