Brazil’s tax reform is already reshaping commercial and contractual relationships. As the country restructures its tax system, many clauses that were previously appropriate may now become unbalanced — or even incompatible — with the new rules.

Why Review Contracts Now?

With changes to consumption-based taxes and ancillary obligations, business contracts — especially long‑term agreements — may need updates in clauses involving:

• Pricing structures and cost‑pass‑through mechanisms
• Allocation of tax liability between the parties
• Rules for adjustments, indexation, and tax‑related compensation
• Contractual risks tied to legislative changes

Beyond that, the reform may affect agreements with suppliers, service providers, and customers, leading to the need for renegotiations to preserve legal certainty and financial stability.
