Provisional Measure No. 1,303\/2025 introduces a structural overhaul of the income tax regime applicable to earnings from financial investments held by individuals, entities under the Simples Nacional regime, and non-resident investors. The changes will be implemented gradually and are expected to directly affect tax planning strategies and the net returns on investments starting in 2026.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Abolition of the Progressive Regime and Adoption of a Flat 17.5% Withholding Tax<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Currently, earnings from financial investments are taxed under a regressive rate schedule ranging from 22.5% to 15%, depending on the holding period. Beginning January 1, 2026, the MP abolishes this system, replacing it with a flat rate of:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 17.5% Withholding Income Tax (IRRF)<\/strong> on all income from domestic financial investments held by individuals and Simples Nacional taxpayers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Investments initiated prior to January 1, 2026, will continue under the current regime until maturity, ensuring legal certainty and contractual stability.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Withholding at Source and Annual Adjustment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The new rate will be withheld at source by financial institutions. However:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • The taxpayer remains subject to annual reconciliation in the Individual Income Tax Return (IRPF) in cases such as:\n
            \n
          • Accumulated income;<\/li>\n
          • Loss compensation;<\/li>\n
          • Tax due differing from the amount withheld.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
            1. Loss Compensation: Expansion with New Restrictions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              The MP allows individuals and Simples Nacional entities to offset investment losses against gains from different types of financial assets\u2014an important improvement. However:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Compensation is limited to five years<\/strong> from the quarter in which the loss was recognized.<\/li>\n
              • Offsetting is prohibited<\/strong> when the same asset is sold and repurchased within 30 days<\/strong>, to prevent artificial loss generation (wash sales).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Loss compensation rules prior to 2026 remain governed by current law, with no express temporal limit.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Tax Base: IOF Deductibility to Prevent Double Taxation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  • The taxable base for the 17.5% IRRF may be reduced by the amount of IOF<\/strong> (Tax on Financial Operations) paid on the investment.<\/li>\n
                  • This requires traceability of the IOF amount withheld, introducing new control and reporting obligations for financial platforms, institutions, and investors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                      \n
                    1. Non-Resident Investors: Uniform Taxation with Specific Exceptions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                        \n
                      • As a general rule, non-resident investors<\/strong> will also be taxed at 17.5%<\/strong> on earnings from financial investments.<\/li>\n
                      • Exemption is maintained<\/strong> for capital gains from stock exchange transactions.<\/li>\n
                      • Residents of tax havens<\/strong> will be subject to 25% IRRF<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                          \n
                        1. Virtual Assets (Cryptoassets)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                            \n
                          • Capital gains from cryptoassets will be subject to definitive 17.5% taxation<\/strong>, with quarterly assessment<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                          • Losses may be offset for up to 5 subsequent quarters<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                          • Legal entities taxed under the actual profit regime (lucro real)<\/strong> must include results in their IRPJ and CSLL tax bases, without the possibility of deducting losses<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                              \n
                            1. Special Treatment for Financial Institutions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                \n
                              • Banks, insurance companies, broker-dealers, stock exchanges, and entities listed in Article 7 of the MP<\/strong>:\n
                                  \n
                                • Are not subject to withholding;<\/li>\n
                                • Their investment income is included directly in the IRPJ\/CSLL tax base.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                                • Investment funds<\/strong> will continue under current rules, except as expressly modified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                  1. Taxation of Tax-Incentivized Bonds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                    A 5% IRRF rate<\/strong> will apply to:<\/p>\n

                                      \n
                                    • LCI, LCA, CRI, CRA<\/strong>, and incentivized debentures<\/strong> issued from 2026 onwards.<\/li>\n
                                    • This rate applies only to individuals and Simples Nacional entities<\/strong>, which previously enjoyed full exemption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                      Issuers are encouraged to advance bond offerings before December 31, 2025<\/strong>, to preserve the 0% tax rate for individuals.<\/p>\n

                                        \n
                                      1. Interest on Net Equity (Juros sobre Capital Pr\u00f3prio \u2013 JCP)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                          \n

                                          Conclusions and Practical Recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                          The new rules significantly reshape the taxation of investments in Brazil, with implications for both individual investors and the capital markets. Key takeaways include:<\/p>\n

                                            \n
                                          • Simplified and more predictable tax treatment;<\/li>\n
                                          • Decreased attractiveness of tax-incentivized instruments and JCP;<\/li>\n
                                          • Need for financial institutions to adjust systems to the new IR model and IOF tracking requirements;<\/li>\n
                                          • Potentially lower net returns on short-term investments, which previously benefited from declining rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                            Recommended Actions:<\/strong><\/p>\n
