The Brazilian tax environment requires deep and specialized skills to manage the complexity of a specific VAT system. With the continuous evolution of the digitalization of compliance and the increased efficiency of Governments seeking revenue collection, it becomes crucial for taxpayers to quickly adapt to this fast-changing and dynamic environment. Deloitte has been expanding its portfolio of services, leveraging more digitalization and AI to assist clients with the complexities of regulation. We also have practitioners with deep industry skills and a leading Operate process. Deloitte´s indirect tax practice, with its team of experienced and market-recognized practitioners, is a first-tier service provider in the country with more than 150 practitioners dedicated full-time to the development of new tax digital applications. By combining technology, highly skilled practitioners, diversified offerings, and large delivery scale, Deloitte´s indirect tax practice is assisting clients in their digital transformation journey via three broad impact areas:

  • Function strategy, technology, and process: assisting organizations to identify an appropriate operational model for managing their functional responsibilities, technology, and process support—e.g., data management, analytics, enterprise tax integration—for aspects they choose to insource.
  • Outsourced and managed services: co-sourcing or outsourcing specific processes for organizations—e.g., compliance, reporting, and documentation responsibilities—or assisting an organization to “operate” any aspect, or all, of its functional responsibilities (except decision-making responsibilities).
  • Advisory: helping organizations understand, oversee, and align their domestic, international, or cross-border tax and legal positions, including mergers and acquisitions, and advising on accessing available government incentives.

Our VAT consulting practice stands out for its extensive and deeply rooted network across the country supported by a global network. Our approach combines national insights with regional specialists, enabling us to provide tailored and effective tax solutions for our clients. The intensive use of technology in customized tax applications provides us with a leading offerings differentiator, combining the ability to not only advise but also to operate and implement tax solutions.

The Deloitte VAT practice has observed significant tax growth in our region over recent years. This growth is driven by evolving regulations and increased enforcement with tax authorities’ emphasis on processes as a lever for compliance. Additionally, the ongoing tax reform in Brazil is reshaping the fiscal landscape, introducing new complexities and opportunities for businesses.

Our deep understanding of the Brazilian tax environment enables us to navigate through these complexities via Deloitte´s Brazil VAT practice tax applications designed to assist clients in tax compliance while optimizing their tax burden. This proactive approach has enabled our clients to manage the impact of tax reform on their operations and to remain competitive in a rapidly changing environment.

We have developed a suite of proprietary tax applications that enable us to serve our clients with exceptional dynamism, quality, and speed. These tax applications are designed to handle the distinctive complexities of the Brazilian tax system, and the context of the tax reform in course, assisting our clients to remain compliant and to enhance their tax burden.

Beyond our proprietary tax applications, we embrace cutting-edge digital capabilities such as advanced data analytics, machine learning, and automation. These technologies enable us to provide deeper insights, increase forecasting accuracy, and assist clients in streamlining their processes.

Technology is critical in dealing with huge volumes of indirect tax and global trade data and associated complex calculations in a changing tax system. Deloitte´s VAT practice addresses this need with innovative in-house-developed tax applications incorporating analytics and automation features.

Technology-enabled applications enable us to deliver new insights to clients, create efficiencies for internal teams, and provide new career opportunities for Deloitte Brazil’s practitioners.

Examples of proprietary in-house-developed tax applications are Tax Scan Analytics (“TSA”), Tax Credit Identification (“TCI”), e-Credac Tool, Reintegra Solution, Recof-SPED, PCAT Solutions, Siscomex Extrator, VAT Tool Kit, and Tax Reform Emulator.
