The Brazilian tax burden is one of the largest in the world. That’s not news. What few people know is that currently in Brazil there are 93 (ninety-three) different types of taxes being levied. These are taxes, contributions and fees created and administered by the Union, states and municipalities. Every minute new rules and obligations are imposed on taxpayers. Many of these measures have defects and should be corrected.

The tax department of the Jobim Advogados Associados office has as main objective to correct these errors. The tool presented to clients as a means to achieve this goal is Tax Planning. Through it, it is possible to identify the opportunities, to demand the return of unduly paid amounts and to reduce the current tax burden, increasing the competitiveness and the profits of the taxpayers.
