A provisional measure was published in a special edition of the Federal Official Gazette that establishes an effective tax rate of 15% on the profits of multinational companies.

Today, the Supreme Federal Court (STF) begins hearings to determine whether international treaties signed by Brazil prevent the imposition of Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and CSLL on the profits of foreign companies controlled by a Brazilian company. The trial will run until October 11. The first round of voting for mayors and city council members will take place on Sunday.
