Brazil offers significant opportunities. As Latin America’s largest economy, it combines a domestic market of around 215 million consumers with access to the wider Mercosur trade bloc. Its strengths span sectors, including agribusiness, energy, technology and services, while ongoing tax reform is set to reshape and simplify the country’s historically complex indirect tax system.
But opportunity comes with complexity. International investors need to understand the right legal structure for their business, corporate and indirect taxation, employment costs and regulatory requirements. There are also important incentives to consider, from regional programmes in Espírito Santo and the Manaus Free Trade Zone to federal R&D tax relief through Lei do Bem.
To help businesses navigate these questions, Kreston KBW has created a collection of practical resources for organisations considering Brazil as an investment destination.
Drawing on the team’s local knowledge, the resources explain key considerations including company structures, taxation, employment costs and incentives, while highlighting some of the factors international businesses should build into their investment planning. They are designed to provide a useful starting point before businesses seek advice tailored to their particular circumstances.
It is also a great example of Kreston Global’s network in action. By combining international reach with expertise on the ground, our member firms can help businesses understand not only where opportunities exist, but what operating successfully in those markets really involves.
