CLIENTS' PERSPECTIVES
Being More Tax Efficient
Brazilian exporters either acquire or lease imported machine in Brazil, paying full importation and related taxes
​
Even if such equipment has no national equivalent, importation and related taxes can amount to 30% or more of its final price:
​
-
The payment of some of these taxes are credits that can offset federal and state taxes;
-
Many exporters have tax credits in abundance and such taxes end up being an additional cost of doing business.
Brazilian tax laws permit for temporary equipment importation, which allows for a reduction on the importation and related taxes:
​
-
This is common practice for airplanes and offshore platforms but not used for mining, pulp and paper and other commodity exporters;
-
Tax reduction, using temporary importation, can be significant when compared to the final equipment price and be a source of competitive edge.
