Tax Reform in Brazil

Eduardo Haddad and João Gabriel Sacco

No 2403, Policy briefs on Economic Trends and Policies from Policy Center for the New South

Abstract: - Brazil’s latest tax reform will replace five taxes on consumption with one single VAT to promote greater efficiency and sectoral isonomy. - Forecasts produced by a detailed ICGE model point to sizeable gains in GDP exceeding 4% in the long run, even if spatially unequal. - Exceptions to the rules reduce potential benefits in efficiency terms. - Policies meant to promote regional development and close the gap deepened by the reform partially achieve their goal at the expense of efficiency gains. - Lessons for the current tax reform in Morocco are drawn.
